This picture of Harvey Broome and Charles Hoffman was taken from Myrtle Point in January 1934 by Herbert Merideth Webster (1908-1994). Pictured in the photograph are Smoky Mountains Hiking Club member Harvey Benjamin Broome (1902-1968) with Charles Hoffman of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Broome was a Knoxville attorney and avid conservationist who advocated for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Myrtle Point is a popular lookout on Mount LeConte, the 3rd highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, topping out at 6,593 ft.
