Title

Guy Frizzell at Deals Gap

Description

Guy Frizzell at Deals Gap in August 1932 after the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club's first trip through entire length of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Each man had his portrait made, unshaven after their nine-day hike. The 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.
