On the reverse of this image is written, "Andrew's Bald, on Forney Ridge, about 2 miles south of Clingman's Dome. Thunderhead is in the background - over the cabin. Siler's Bald is at the night of the first tree which cuts the skyline. Welch Ridge leads down (left) from Siler's. Welch Bald is at the extreme left of Welch Ridge. - Roth Sept. 18, 1932." In 2024 Clingmans Dome was restored to its original name of Kuwohi. The photograph 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.
