Trees

Winter -- North Carolina, Western

This photograph of trees, many of which are without leaves, was taken by R. Henry Scadin (1861-1923). Scadin moved to Western North Carolina in 1889 and was a prolific photographer of the region--especially the people and scenery of Brevard, Tyron, Saluda, Sapphire, and Highlands. The photograph is part of a collection documenting the activities of the Appalachian National Park Association. The Association, founded in 1899, played a key role in the movement for the establishment of a national park in the Southern Appalachians. George S. Powell was the Association’s first president and Asheville physician Dr. Chase P. Ambler (1865-1932) was the secretary. Ambler deposited this collection in 1929 to the State Archives of North Carolina at Raleigh from where they were moved in 2012 to the Western Regional Archives located in Asheville.
