Cumberland Gap Natl Hist Park KY TN VA

Another beautiful place. And once again my history background is improved with visit to a national park. Travel to and thus settlement of the west was greatly facilitated with the discovery of the Gap much to the distress and ultimate removal of the Indians. Gap also was location of series of Civil War campaigns to take and hold what was thought to be a strategic route.
