On the reverse of this image is written, "Camp in dense balsam forest at spring near top of Mt. Guyot Tuesday night- Aug. 9, 1932 Left to right: Chas. Gibson - chief cook and parson, Chas. (Pack-horse) Cornforth, Carlos Campbell (rail splitter), Guy Frizzell (rear view), Warner Hall (Georgian Appalachian Trail Club proxy), Herrick Brown, Harvey Broome - Walter Berry - 8-10-32." The photograph is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club which 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.
