Swim "Bald" (left) and Cheoah Bald as seen from Wauchecha Bald, all located on the Appalachian Trail between the Great Smokies and the Nantahala Gorge. 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 picture was taken by Harvey Benjamin Broome (1902-1968), a Knoxville attorney and avid conservationist who advocated for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 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.
