Description
Robert Shields moved his family into Cades Cove in the early 1820s to avoid a typhoid epidemic at Chilhowee. He established one of the earliest Cove tub mills and sponsored early Cove industries of forging and milling in partnership with D.D. Foute and �Fighting Billie� Tipton. He was active in the Baptist Church and served as Justice of the Peace and member of the County Court.

This is a wonderful shot! Awesome composition with the path leading the eye right to the cabin. I don't know about anybody else, but it sure makes me want to be there! :)) L/F
