This photograph of Charlies Bunion, with others in this series, are included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. Charlies Bunion is situated along the state line between Sevier County, Tennessee and Swain County, North Carolina. At 5,565 feet, the distinctive face of the mountain includes a boulder-like protrusion at its peak. 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). Written on back: “Charlies Bunion- burned over peak just a few hundred yards west of Dry Sluice Gap. Fire spread from lumbering debris on N.C. side and spread into, and destroyed, virgin timber which covered the precipitous Tennessee side of the mountain shown here."
