This 4-page article, titled “Tramping the Great Smokies,” was reprinted from a 1927 issue of “American Forests and Forest Life, the magazine of The American Forestry Association. In it, the author writes about her first-hand experiences hiking and camping in the Smokies. A native of Tennessee, Laura Thornborough (1885-1973) was also the author of several books; her most well-known work is “The Great Smoky Mountains.” In this 1937 publication, Thornborough describes the mountains and surrounding communities and provides a first-hand history of the park’s formation. Besides the spelling “Thornborough,” she also spelled her name “Thornburgh.”
