On the reverse of this image is written, "White Rock (Sharp Top) as seen from the trail to that peak -- last high peak at north-eastern end of Smokies. On the Appalachian Trail at eastern end of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A.G. Roth Aug. 7, 1932." Today, White Rock is known as Mount Cammerer. The picture is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The photographer, Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974), was an avid photographer and one of the founders of the 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 “Eligible for entry in Master Snap photo contest. Ask 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.
