Description

This 1930 photograph Mount LeConte and Mount Mingus from Cove Mountain is included in the records 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.
