Description
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennesse and North Carolina is home to various restored buildings from the early settlers in this region. Born in the original Cades Cove cabin in 1824, Elijah Oliver was the son of the first white settlers in the cove. His original farm was destroyed during the U.S. Civil War by Confederate marauders; the current cabin was constructed in 1866. Elijah Oliver was deacon and clerk of the Primitive Baptist Church in Cades Cove for 37 years. He was also renowned as an excellent hunter who could average three to six deer in a good day.
