On the reverse of this image is written, "Guy Frizzell walked the heel off one of his boots and had to wear his tennis shoes (Charlie Barber style) the last two days. Here we see him tying the boots on his pack at Spence Field. - Walter Berry 8-14-32." 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.
