This photograph came to me as a gift from the grandson of Carlos Campbell. Campbell was a great proponent of the idea that the high country between Sevierville and the Cherokee Reservation should be somehow protected from commercial development, a idea which would ultimately become The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Campbell toured with printed examples of his photography to show local residents and national dignitaries the rare beauty of the southern mountains. His work, along with such figures as Horace Kephart, helped to motivate both North Carolina and Tennessee legislators to support the development of the Park. As shown on the reverse of the image, this was used in those presentations and is numbered as 380. I have another I’ll post at another time. The image itself depicts a farmer, and the caption reads: “Tennessee - Near Sevierville Sorghum is grown generall thought the valleys (foothills). Planted in rows as seen here, it is grown for making “molasses” — known as “the poor man’s sweet”. Sown broadcast or drilled in closer rows, it is often brown as fees for cattle and horses. Cutting cane (sorghum) on the far of L.A. Latham, Route 5, Sevierville, Tennessee. Great Smoky Mountains National Park region. October 2, 1934.” The park was officially created in June of the same year. A special thanks to Frank who gifted me this fine photograph. . . . . . . . #carloscampbell #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #blackandwhitephotography #gsmnp #sevierville #tennessee #photography #northcarolina #thesmokies #antiquephoto #sorghum #molasses #farming #knoxville #tn #nc #blackandwhite (at Sevierville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqoG0f3pjk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day.
Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school system would effectively adopt and fund the program after the trial period.
During the same period, Parton founded the Imagination Library in 1995: The idea being that children from her rural hometown and low-income families often start school at a disadvantage and as a result, will be unfairly compared to their peers for the rest of their lives, effectively encouraging them not to pursue higher education. The objective of the Imagination library was that every child in Sevier County would receive one book, every month, mailed and addressed to the child, from the day they were born until the day they started kindergarten, 100% free of charge. What began as a hometown initiative now serves children in all 50 states, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, mailing thousands of free books to children around the world monthly.
On March 1, 2018 Parton donated her 100 millionth book at the Library of Congress: a copy of "Coat of Many Colors" dedicated to her father, who never learned to read or write.

Tennessee Bear and Cubs smashed car window in Sevier County, leaving residents bewildered
SEVIER COUNTY, TENNESSEE - In a startling incident caught on camera, a bear and its three cubs in Sevierville, Tennessee were seen desperately searching for food before attempting to break into a Silver Car on a lonely ghost town road. The incident adds to the growing concerns about human-wildlife interactions in the region.
An exclusive video footage obtained by Inside Edition Digital, the bear and her cubs seemed to be on the lookout for nourishment as they roamed the area. As darkness fell, the mother bear focused her attention on the aforesaid car is parked near the road overnight. The scene unfolded on a quiet evening, leaving residents in awe of the boldness displayed by the bear and her cubs.
Despite the car being locked, the determined mother bear resorted to smashing the windows. Shockingly, the glass on the left side succumbed to her relentless efforts, providing an entry point into the vehicle. The incident serves as a chilling reminder that even locked cars may not always deter wildlife in their search for food or shelter.

Local authorities and wildlife experts are urging residents to exercise caution and be mindful of such encounters. Sevier County's wildlife control center reiterated the importance of keeping food sources inaccessible and securing car doors at all times. While it is an unfortunate incident, it serves as a reminder of the crucial steps residents must take to coexist with wildlife safely.
In response to the dangerous situation, both the bear and her cubs were subsequently impounded and will be handed over to the nearest Animal Control Center (ACC). This measure aims to ensure the safety of humans and animals alike, as the mother bear's actions constituted a form of theft and looting.
The incident highlights the delicate balance between human development and wildlife preservation in the region. With more frequent encounters between humans and bears, initiatives to educate the public are gaining momentum. Experts emphasize that understanding bear behavior and implementing preventive measures are key to avoiding such confrontations.
As warmer weather approaches, wildlife experts anticipate a surge in bear activity in Sevier County. Efforts are underway to continue communicating safety measures to the community, including proper waste disposal, securing food sources, and adhering to guidelines when living near wildlife habitats.
With this incident capturing the attention of locals and conservation advocates alike, it serves as a wake-up call for residents to reassess their relationship with the natural world. By adopting responsible practices and showing respect for wildlife, we can coexist peacefully with the majestic creatures that call Sevier County home in Sevierville.
