Description
This article titled, “The Smokies Invite You” was published in the Junior League Magazine in 1931. The article is illustrated with photographs by George Masa (1885-1933) under his business name, Asheville Photo Co. Born in Japan and raised as Shoji Endo, Masa came to the United States in 1906. In 1915, he moved to Asheville and was known variously as G. M. Iizuka, George M. Iizuka, and Masahara Iizuka, before adopting George Masa as his professional name. Masa was active in the Carolina Appalachian Trail Club, which merged with the Carolina Mountain Club, and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
