This 32-page booklet, simply titled, “Great Smoky National Park” was produced between 1935 and 1945. The booklet begins with a description of how the park was created, beginning with the 1899 effort by the Appalachian National Park Association to Congressional approval in 1926 and the significant financial donation made by the Rockefeller family. The booklet includes mention of mountain people and the Cherokee people living on the adjacent Qualla Boundary. Other topics include plant and animal life, weather, elevations, camping, trails, and trail rules. A “Travel Index” lists distances to various peaks from two park entrances and a schematic map shows relative elevations. Fifteen full-page, hand-colored photographs depict scenes in the park, including two of the “loop-over” road.
