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: On the other side of "Chimneys" at our camp on the Little Pigeon. This was our vista from our tent door - imagine it! A tin cup of hot coffee - in one hand - a pancake in the other - and the mists rising off of This!!
