Mom’s Scrapbook: Pages 5-13

There are several blank pages throughout my mom’s scrapbook.  I’m not taking pictures of those and posting them.  That would probably be pretty boring.  I’m also not sure why the pictures didn’t come out as well this time as last time.  They are kind of blurry and for that I apologize.

Page 4 is blank

 

Page 5

Page 5-Why is this brochure for Greenville, Tennessee upside-down?  I don’t know!  I think that it may have just somehow ended up that way.  I don’t see my mom deliberately taping it in the scrapbook like that.

Page 6 is blank.

 Page 7

Page 7-Two brochures for Unto These Hills.  On the page my mom wrote:

“The most colorful & beautiful play ever seen about Indians.”

 Page 8

Page 8-An ad that was cutout and taped in for the movie The Hanging Tree starring Gary Cooper, Maria Schell and Karl Malden.  I would say, “but Mom…why did you cut this out and tape it in your scrapbook?”, but I already know the answer:  because Edward “Kookie” Byrnes was in that movie and she looooooooooves him.

 Page 9

Page 9-A brochure for Homespun Valley Authentic Mountaineer Village (the “One Thing In Gatlinburg You MUST NOT MISS!”) and a postcard of the Hemlock Motel in Gatlinburg.  On the back of the postcard the Hemlock Motel boasts “Individual stone cottages.  Tiled combination or shower bath.  Air-Conditioning.  Free Television, Playground.  Restaurants near by.  Open Feb. 15 to Nov. 15.  Phone 196”.  Free Playground!?!?  Let’s go!  On the page my mother wrote:

“Homespun Valley is located in the center of Gatlinberg, Tennessee”.  Even though Gatlinburg is on both the postcard and brochure she still managed to misspell it.

Page 10 is blank.

 Page 11

Page 11-Brochure for Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee, North Carolina.  On the page my mom wrote:

“Oconaluftee is an Indian Village in Cherokee, North Carolina.  This Village is also very colorful.”  She must have been on a “colorful” kick.

Page 12 is blank.

 Page 13

Page 13-Two postcards that I can only assume she got in Cherokee, North Carolina.  I can’t look on the back of the cards because she taped AND stapled them to the page.

Mom’s Scrapbook:Unto These Hills-Vintage Booklet

(disclaimer:  I was in no way compensated for this post.  I did this on my own, only gaining permission to use the images.)

This booklet was stuck in my mom’s scrapbook.  I have been waiting to get permission from the Cherokee Historical Association before posting it (in other words, I didn’t steal, so you shouldn’t either).  I’m not sure exactly what year this is from, but I’m thinking about 1959.  It’s a little piece of history about a pretty large piece of history.

Unto These Hills is an outdoor dramatic reenactment that tells the history and legends of the Cherokee people and the events of the Trail of Tears.  The play takes place in Cherokee, North Carolina.  The season is over for this year, but for more information, including dates, prices and other current information visit Unto These Hills at Cherokee, North Carolina.  You can also contact the Cherokee Historical Association by calling 866-554-4557, emailing them at travel@nc-cherokee.com or snail mail them at PO Box 460, Cherokee, North Carolina, 28719.

(note:  I have added an index at the end with the key people involved in the making of the retelling back then.  some of the names listed may be the same (such as Bob and Robert), but they are listed separately with the corresponding page numbers.)

Enjoy!

Mom’s Scrapbook: First Three Pages

Mom's Scrapbook Cover

My mother started saving this scrapbook in 1959.  She thinks now that she should have called it her travel book because she saved a lot mementos from places she had been.

The first three pages:

Mom's Scrapbook Page 1

The picture is of my mother, Virginia Marie Stalls, riding the lift to the top of Crockett Mountain.  Why she never became a travel writer is beyond me when you read her most glowing and excellent review below.  (just kidding!)

This picture and the pamphlets on the opposite page consist of Davy Crockett and his days.  This picture was taken of me on Crockett Mountain in Gatlinburg, Tennessee at the top of the mountain.  From the top of this tall mountain you could see the Gatlinburg A., Nestle-In Motel, S&M Restaurant, and Smoky Laundry.  Davy Crockett was born August 17, 1786.  Davy is now, in 1959, 173 years old.  He was born near Cove Creek, Tennessee and at the confluence of Limestone Creek and the Nolachuckey River.  Soon Davy’s family moved to Cove Creek.  In 1834 Davy’s gun “Betsy” was presented to him by the “Wings of Philadelphia”.  You can visit Crockett Mountain in Gatlinburg or his home in Morristown, Tennessee.

Mom's Scrapbook Page 2

Andrew Johnson National Monument government pamphlet.  Below you can see why she should have become a political writer.  (again, just kidding!)

Andrew Johnson was the 17th president of the United States.  He became president after Lincoln was shot.  Andrew was born in Raleigh, N.C. 1808.  And was a Rep.
