Indian Gap

Indian Gap

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: John and his Father. Truly, as you said, "a luxurious place to lounge - and cast ourselves on the grass - and rest our tired limbs. "Indian Gap."
