Cade's Cove Blacksmith
John P. Cable ran both mill and farm and eventually decided to become a blacksmith as well. Many people brought grain to be milled by using wagons pulled by mules and horses and these animals needed their metal shoes reset about every two months, thus keeping the blacksmiths quite busy. Additionally, the blacksmiths made all sorts of metal products for the home and farm, including plows, nails, adzes, axes, chains, hinges, bolts, hammers, hoes, bits, hooks, broadaxes, kitchen knives and drawknives.
