Product Information

Surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest s blue mountain ranges, Unicoi and Limestone Cove are part of America s first western frontier. From their beginnings in the famed Watauga and Nolichucky settlements of the 1770s until today, Unicoi and Limestone Cove s history has reflected the boom times, depressions, and wars of the Appalachian region and the nation. Bell Cemetery in Limestone Cove is still a reminder of the Civil War in northeastern Tennessee. Each year, grounds near Davis Springs provide the stage for the reenactment of a Confederate ambush and massacre of Union recruits at the home of Dr. David Bell in 1863. The streets in the old residential section of Unicoi are a reminder of the model town planned by speculators, who came to Unicoi and Limestone Cove during the industrial boom of the late 1880s, eager to purchase the area s timber and mineral-rich land. Images of America: Unicoi and Limestone Cove contains rare images of Unicoi during this time, including photographs of the train and narrow-gauge railroad built to haul timber from Limestone Cove and Unaka Mountain."

Title: Limestone Cove, Unicoi in focus, finally, in pages of upcoming book Author: Mark A. Stevens Publisher: The Erwin Record Date: 10/13/09 For many months, Janice Willis Barnett searched for hidden treasure. She drove along country roads, leafed through tattered scrapbooks, peered into dusty archival records. In just a few weeks, the precious objects she uncovered will surface again in a new book titled Unicoi and Limestone Cove.” Barnett’s pictorial history book is the first book to ever focus exclusively on those two Unicoi County communities, both rich in history and family heritage. Basically, nothing has been written about those two communities,” said Barnett, who compiled 230 historic photos for her 128-page book that will be published Nov. 30 by Charleston, S.C.-based Arcadia Publishing. Barnett’s book will follow two other books – Erwin and Unicoi County” and Then & Now: Unicoi County” – published by Arcadia that have focused on local history. In researching her book, Barnett said she initially relied heavily on an article written by Mrs. C.N. Wilcox that was published March 23, 1929, in the Johnson City Staff-News. It was, she said, a treasure map of clues.” It was a very important thing to delve into the history of this part of the county,” Barnett said. Unicoi and Limestone Cove haven’t really received the attention like the history of Erwin, or even the south end of the county, has. Unicoi and Limestone Cove don’t have a history like Jonesborough, for example. The history of these communities must be looked at in the context of a larger history of the area, the region and the country. Unicoi has its own coming-of-the-railroad story and little industrial boom. And this part of its history involves neighboring Limestone Cove.” Barnett, whose roots are in the county’s south end of Spivey but has lived in Unicoi since 1988, said the mountain people who have lived in Unicoi and Limestone Cove for generations have a story that’s worth telling, too.” In fact, Barnett said, the story of Unicoi and Limestone Cove has an interesting connection to the industrial development around the region in the later part of the 19th century. Unicoi was laid out as a model town even before Erwin was, and businesses like the Unaka Iron Co. and the Unicoi Development Co. were set on making Unicoi into a bustling community. The railroad was there in 1888, and they hoped the railroad headquarters would be located there,” Barnett said. A plat from 1907 shows the area around Massachusetts Avenue laid out with blocks and streets.” In her book, divided into sections about family life, religion, education and community, Barnett brings into focus everything from hog killings and farm life to church picnics and school ballgames to the timber and ore operations supported by a mountain railroad. As Barnett continued to research Unicoi and Limestone Cove, her treasure map” led her to the Register of Deeds’ office at the Unicoi County Courthouse, where she uncovered how the rich natural resources of Appalachia” were the reason that land speculators made their focus on the area. I spent hours and hours in (Register of Deeds) Debbie Tittle’s office looking at old deeds,” Barnett said. I took the clue from Mrs. Wilcox’s article and put together what I could from that.” After she had a better understanding of the history and development of the communities, Barnett faced the daunting task of collecting hundreds of historic photos from the families of Unicoi and Limestone Cove. For months, Barnett, toting along a digital scanner, visited home after home in search of the photos that would make up her book. I spent really over a year interviewing people, as much as six ho

  • Big surprises

    This was meant to be a gift to my dad & his region of growing but I found our family inside this book with pictures of my Great Uncle making jam and the church my grandmother ventured too. To top it off, my dad was even shown in a Boy Scout photo from 1963...he cried happy tears for sure. Ended up buying more for my Aunts & Uncles.
