Maryville Times, 1 Nov 1893
"The crowd landed in the place known as Jeffrey's Hell
after a two-day journey, about 15
or 20 miles of which had to be traveled on foot as a
team could not be taken into the mountains. A deer drive
was the program for the first
day and this resulted in the killing of two deer and
quite an assortment of squirrel and
mountain "boomers." (chipmunks/ground
squirrels) There is an immense amount of
valuable timber in these mountains. There are cherry trees--so
the crowd says--six
feet through and from sixty to seventy-five feet to the
first limb. Any amount of yellow
poplar, spruce pine and ash. One curly ash was seen that was
estimated as being
worth five hundred dollars, if it could be gotten out of there.When one gets to the
bottom of Jeffrey's Hell, it looks like it would be
impossible to get out again. But after
staying there and breathing good pure mountain air for six
days, it made the crowd
able to climb almost as well as do the little boomers and
they were able to easily walk
the distance back to the teams. It can be sworn to
however that some of them were
rather sore for several days after reaching home.
Question: Where would Jeffrey's
Hell be located?
Between
Tellico Plains, TN and Citico, TN, in the Smoky
Mountains. I am not sure, but
think it is on the NC side of the mountains, Probably very
near the road from Tellico
Plains to Robbins, NC" This Jaffery's Hell was where John Helms and Emily Olive
Helms lived and carved a living
during the 1930's.
