Waterfalls -- Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.)

This photograph of the Ramsey Cascades 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. 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.
