Davis Bracken's cabin on Alum Cave Creek

Davis Bracken's cabin on Alum Cave Creek

Log cabins

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: Bracken's Cabin on Alum Cave Creek. Note: Davis Bracken is referred to as Jasper Finn in Chapter X of Horace Kephart's book Our Southern Highlanders. Bracken was the custodian of the Champion Fibre Company's possession cabin.
