On the reverse of this image is written, "Mt. Sterling and Lufty Knob- as seen from Hell Ridge (east of Mt. Guyot) Lufty is in the Balsam Mountains, which run southeast into N.C. from the state line at Tri-Corner Knob (between Mt. Chapman and Mt. Guyot) -- Walter berry 8-9-32." 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.
