Paul M. Fink (1892-1980) of Jonesborough, Tennessee, was an early advocate for the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This collection of photographs from 1914 through the 1930s was taken while Fink thoroughly explored the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding area. A banker and a conservationist, Fink kept a journal of his explorations and published his entries in Backpacking Was the Only Way (1975). On the back of this undated photograph, Fink wrote: The Blowing Rock, In my estimation this section is just a little over advertised. Maybe my wanderings in Smoky Country has prejudiced me, though.
