Dear T and other Spiders of inquiring minds....

 Growing up as a real Southern hillbilly, accent and all, we used "each other" to mean 
two people interacting. Example: "They got each other a birthday present." More often, 
we would use "one another" in the same text. So...my take on the question - they are 
the same.  Grammatically, I believe they are the same, but then, in the Blue Ridge 
"each other" could  be a whole passel of cousins fighting with "one another." (Ummm, 
only two at a time)  But then we weren't the best linguists coming down the pike.

used differently....
