Prior to the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) in 1934, the small community of Elkmont was established as a logging camp by Col. Wilson B. Townsend's Little River Lumber Company around 1908. This was after he purchased 86,000 acres of mostly virgin forest. The area that was previously inhabited by various American Indian groups, and later by European-American settlers beginning around 1830, was to become for a time the second largest town in Sevier County, Tennessee. Colonel Townsend's business ventures proved successful beyond expectation, as he skillfully exploited the area's valuable hardwood forests. His logging company and railroad provided a mountain population with jobs and steady wages. Once all the valuable timber was harvested, Townsend sold land to private citizens who established what was to become an exclusive summer community that included both the Appalachian and Wonderland Clubs. These coexisted inside the GSMNP until 1992. This is the story of Elkmont.

This is a composition of my feelings and thoughts over a fifty-five-year period .The ladies I loved and cared for deeply, and I still feel for them. I believe love never dies; it only weakens a little. But in the back of your mind, you never forget the good times and bad times that have brought you to these later years of thought. I was married twice. I know what youre going through with a broken heart and loneliness. I can sincerely say I have walked in your shoes. Sometimes its a blessing and sometimes its destiny, but we all know the hurt and sleepless nights with tears. My advice to you would be to write it all down in the night when your alone and slumber doesnt come. God bless.

"Elkmont is a place that means something different to each of us. The Elkmont Historical Committee came to truly understand this as we met and discussed what we would include in this book. There were many stories that may have been part of someone's family folklore, but were new to others in the group. Other familiar tales seemed new, told from a different perspective. We couldn't include everything, as quite clearly something new surfaces every day. Our village, in many ways, is just like any other small town. Ther are gossips and stoics, overbearing personalities and meek ones, church ladies and wild girls, the honest, solid rock everyone calls on for everything and the weak soul whom no one trusts. There are folks who couldn't wait to leaave, those who never even thought of leaving and the "boomerangs" who left and came back. Our goal is to give the reader a slice of the Elkmont Club."--Introduction.
