This photograph of Eagle Rocks is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The photograph was made by Harvey Benjamin Broome (1902-1968), a Knoxville attorney, avid conservationist, and advocate for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Penciled in on the back of the photograph is “C.C. Campbell,” referring to Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association and author of “Birth of a National Park.” 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.
