On the reverse of this image is written, "Smoky Mountains Hiking club at Indian Gap. Nov. 6, 19. Left to right Top row: Supt. H.P. Shepard, Virginia Jones, Clara Gartrell, Wm Reams, Irene Beard, Elizabeth Houston, Cecil Hale, Roscoe DeArmand, Catherine Anderson, Gurley Jett, Ruth Davis, Ed Stone, Flora Mallory Hill, Chas. I. Barber bottom row Bill Heist, John Heist, Willa Love Galyon, Evelyn Wells, A.G. (Dutch) Roth, Beas Avery, Margaret Bell, Simon Davis, W.C. Merritt." 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.
