A notch in a 125-mile wall of mountain, worn by buffalo and used by the Shawnee and Cherokee long before Daniel Boone cut the Wilderness Road through it. Around 300,000 settlers walked west through this one gap before 1810, which is how Kentucky and Tennessee filled up.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
