First, the ''Unaka'' division, including the extreme eastern portion of the State, and embracing a belt of country from [[Virginia|Virginia]] to the [[Georgia|Georgia]] line. It includes the greater portion of the counties of Johnson, Carter, Greene, Sevier, Blount, Monroe and Polk. The face of the country is exceedingly rough. Many of the mountain peaks rise to the altitude of from live to six thousand feet, and are on top entirely destitute of timber. The chains of mountain ridges are cut in numerous places by deep, rocky channels, through which the limpid mountain streams rush to the valley below. Nestling among these giant Unakas are many | First, the ''Unaka'' division, including the extreme eastern portion of the State, and embracing a belt of country from [[Virginia|Virginia]] to the [[Georgia|Georgia]] line.

Our second division having distinct topographical features is the ''Valley of East Tennessee''. This division extends across the State from north to south, being limited on the east by the Unakas and on the west by the Cumberland Mountains. It is called a valley with reference to these mountain ranges, and, with outlying coves and valleys, embraces in whole or in part the following counties: Hancock, Hawkins, Grainger, Union, Jefferson, Knox, Roane, Meigs, Bradley, Hamblen, Carter, Johnson, Washington, Greene, Sevier, Cocke, Blount, Monroe, Polk, Claiborne, Anderson, Rhea, James, Hamilton, Bledsoe, Sequatchie and Marion. | Our second division having distinct topographical features is the ''Valley of East Tennessee''.
