Tourism -- Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.)

The “Great Smoky Mountains National Park” brochure was created to showcase “the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.” Within its 24-pages, the commission provided an update on the status of the future park and promoted its development as “a great playground that will have no equal in the world.” The brochure quotes Horace Kephart and Robert Sterling Yard, Secretary of the National Parks Association, and includes photographs by Jim Thompson. Clearly thinking nationally, the commission included a map at the back of the brochure with mileage to the site listed from cities throughout the East Coast.
