Description

This 97-page manuscript is titled “Interview with Dr. Robert Woody.” The 1973 interview recalls Little Cataloochee and the Social History of the Valley. The history was collected as part of the Cataloochee History Project that collected photographs, stories, and oral histories about families who lived in the Cataloochee Valley. Today’s Cataloochee Valley is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes.INTERVIEW with D r.
