On the reverse of this image is written, "Carlos C. Campbell, J.O. Andes, H.R. Duncan, M.V. Anthony and Prof. S.H. Essary between Thunderhead and Gregory (near Russell Field) July 5, 1930" and was taken by Guy Frizzell, a member 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.
