Trivia


Tallulah is the name given to the bobsled in the 1993 comedy film Cool Runnings.
Tallulah is also the name of a princess in Cherokee legend. According to the legend, a white man became lost on the Cherokee trail near what is now Tallulah Falls. Tallulah found him, befriended him, and fell in love with him. She took him back to her camp, where her people, hostile to the presence of a white stranger, demanded his immediate execution. Tallulah's father, Chief Grey Eagle, had no choice but to agree, although he was reluctant to do so. The young man was then bound and thrown into the gorge, and the grief-stricken Tallulah leaped after him to her own death.[[1]]
A similar legend exists about a Native American maiden named White Cloud, but in that version of the legend, the young man does not die, but tries to subdue his captors. He is then knocked unconscious, and in a plot twist similar to ''Romeo and Juliet'', White Cloud, believing him dead, jumps off the cliff. When the young man revives, he recovers her body and buries her on the cliff.[[2]]
Tallulah also means "Laughing water"
