On the reverse of this image is written, "Yellow Creek valley and Hangover, as seen from Yellow Creek Mountain near Tommies Knob. Roth Apr. 2, 1933." The photograph is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club which was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. The back of the picture is stamped “Jim Thompson Co.,” indicating it was probably printed by hiking club member James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976), a professional photographer who played a major role in promoting a national park in the Southern Appalachians.

Roth, Albert, 1890-1974
