Description
This photograph taken by Walter Berry, is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. 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. The label on the picture reads, "Resting (one of the most delightful features of the 9-day hike) at Spence Field (west end of Thunderhead clearing)."
