Walking the Gatlinburg Strip 2024 with MrThrasha
Welcome home join us as we take a stroll along the Gatlinburb Tenn strip with mr thrasha #gatlinburg #tennessee #ripleys #moonshine

For centuries, Cherokee hunters, as well as other Native American hunters before them, used a footpath known as the Indian Gap Trail to access the abundant game in the forests and coves of the Smokies.[9] This trail connected the Great Indian Warpath with Rutherford Indian Trace, following the West Fork of the Little Pigeon River from modern-day Sevierville through modern-day Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Sugarlands, crossing the crest of the Smokies along the slopes of Mount Collins, and descending into North Carolina along the banks of the Oconaluftee River.[10] US-441 largely follows this same route today, although it crests at Newfound Gap rather than Indian Gap.
Although various 18th-century European and early American hunters and fur trappers probably traversed or camped in the flats where Gatlinburg is now situated, it was Edgefield, South Carolina, native William Ogle (1751-1803) who first decided to permanently settle in the area.[11] With the help of the Cherokee, Ogle cut, hewed, and notched logs in the flats, planning to erect a cabin the following year.[12] He returned home to Edgefield to retrieve his family and grow one final crop for supplies. However, shortly after his arrival in Edgefield, a malaria epidemic swept the low country, and Ogle succumbed to the disease in 1803.[13]
His widow, Martha Huskey Ogle (1756-1827), moved the family to Virginia, where she had relatives. Sometime around 1806, Martha Huskey Ogle made the journey over Indian Gap Trail to what is now Gatlinburg with her brother, Peter Huskey, her daughter, Rebecca, and her daughter's husband, James McCarter. William Ogle's notched logs awaited them,[13] and they erected a cabin near the confluence of Baskins Creek and the West Fork of the Little Pigeon shortly after their arrival.[1] The cabin still stands today near the heart of Gatlinburg. James and Rebecca McCarter settled in the Cartertown district of Gatlinburg.[14]
White Oak Flats Cemetery
In the decade following the arrival of the Ogles, McCarters, and Huskeys in what came to be known as White Oak Flats, a steady stream of settlers moved into the area.[13] Most were veterans of the American Revolution or War of 1812 who had converted the 50-acre (200,000 m2) tracts they had received for service in war into deeds.[15] Among these early settlers were Timothy Reagan (c. 1750-1830), John Ownby Jr. (1791-1857), and Henry Bohanon (1760-1842).[16][17] Their descendants still live in the area today.[18]
Radford Gatlin and the Civil War
See also: East Tennessee bridge-burning conspiracy
In 1856, a post office was established in the general store of Radford Gatlin (c. 1798-1880), giving the town the name "Gatlinburg."[19] Even though the town bore his name, Gatlin, who didn't arrive in the flats until around 1854, constantly bickered with his neighbors.[20] By 1857, a full-blown feud had erupted between the Gatlins and the Ogles, probably over Gatlin's attempts to divert the town's main road. The eve of the U.S. Civil War found Gatlin, who became a Confederate sympathizer, at odds with the residents of the flats, who were mostly pro-Union, and he was forced out in 1859.[21]
Despite its anti-slavery sentiments, Gatlinburg, like most Smoky communities, tried to remain neutral during the war. This changed when a company of Confederate Colonel William Holland Thomas' Legion occupied the town to protect the saltpeter mines at Alum Cave, near the Tennessee-North Carolina border. Federal forces marched south from Knoxville and Sevierville to drive out Thomas' men, who had built a small fort on Burg Hill.[22] Lucinda Oakley Ogle, whose grandfather witnessed the ensuing skirmish, later recounted her grandfather's recollections:
... he told me about when he was a sixteen-year-old boy during the Civil War and would hide under a big cliff on Turkey Nest Ridge and watch the Blue Coats ride their horses around the graveyard hill, shooting their cannon toward Burg Hill where the Grey Coats had a fort and would ride their horses around the Burg Hill ...[23]
As the Union forces converged on the town, the outnumbered Confederates were forced to retreat across the Smokies to North Carolina. Confederate forces did not return, although sporadic small raids continued until the end of the war.

I didn't realize till i looked through your videos how many ones involving Disney you had.i think you love Disney as much as Adam the Woo.I'm guessing you watch his videos too i think i heard you saying something about celebration florida were he lives in your video from Goderich.It's too bad we didn't have more Disney stuff to make him do videos here.Only his Rays playing in Toronto made him go there.
He is good friends with one of our buddies Scott on tape yes we have a rental property not far from celebration where Adam lives
@@vacation_fun_makers I love watching Scott's Videos too :) I was actually watching both separately it was cool when they became friends and started collaborating
@Canadianmade-123 we met Adam in Cali at D23 with another friend of ours Randy of Randomly Randy on TH-cam
Good Morning.i just discovered the Disney history in Canada then i was searching you-tube and found your video.Have you ever gone to the Pioneer Cemetary in Goderich to see if you could find some of Walt Disney's relatives buried there and put that in a video.i don't see anything online about house Elias Disney grew up in.
We haven't yet but that is on our list for the spring there is a great resource at the library there which we will also be putting in our next video. Thank you for reaching out we really appreciate it
@@vacation_fun_makers I did a little more digging online.i guess my assumption there were any buried in Ontario was wrong,Even Walt's great grandfather Arundel Elias Disney who died in Goderich was buried in Canada
i meant to write he was buried in Kansas sorry.it would still be interesting if any of the places they lived were still around.Only thing i saw was school house one of them attended.It might of been in your video i can't remember.
@@Canadianmade-123 we didn't do the school house but we plan to hit the homestead the library etc in the spring

The beaver owners are really something else. They've sued anyone with a mascot to avoid competition. They're nuts I avoid their business
When traveling I75 we use them now as bathroom stops pretty much and nothing more. Used to be fun people watching in there but even that has gotten old. I also really did prefer the Stuckys treat better than the Bucc ees one

It sounds stupid but my religion restricts eating pork
I think I ate here when I was a kid once. Cool video!
We like it a lot and the servers play the part perfectly telling you to get your elbows off the table etc
why are you at a sushi joint but you got everything but suhi in the table 😂
Because it was all you can order so the next plates that came out were almost all sushi I just didn't bother filming more than this short lol.
@@vacation_fun_makers ahhhhh I see haha. Thought it was pretty funny
@@jessekandres9047 my son loves sushi he had about 8 plates of it after the scallops and beef lol the salmon there is amazing
This should be fun!! A trip thru Goderich with In this Moment playing in the background!!
It is a beautiful place and the link to the Disney family makes it even better
Love my SSR ❤ next stay Christmas Eve & Christmas as night
