“Uncle” Carver at age 91 years is crossing Bradley Fork on a log. According to a note on the photograph, Carver said, "It is point blank aggravating, I can't walk a log like I used to." The 1937 photograph was made by Hiram Coleman Wilburn (1880-1967), unofficial historian of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Wilburn spent time identifying historic structures, collecting artifacts, and researching local history. He is credited with curating the earliest collections that would form the nucleus of the park’s museum.
