“The Great Smoky Mountains National Park” is a 32-page booklet produced by the Great Smoky Mountains Publishing Company, Inc. and edited by R. R. Stripling. The booklet contains many photographs by the Thompson Brothers of Knoxville, Tennessee. Published in 1930, the booklet was written before the establishment of the national park and promotes both the park and the city of Knoxville as “The Great Smoky Mountains City.” While many brochures feature photographs by James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976), this booklet also includes images by his brother, Robin Thompson (1895-1977). Essays describe the geography, trees, and wildflowers of the Smokies. While the park lies almost equally in North Carolina and Tennessee, this brochure refers only to the Tennessee side of the park.
