This photograph of the west peak of Mount LeConte is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The photograph was made by 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. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924.
