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). This photograph was taken during a four-day trip in 1916 to explore Mount LeConte. Present were lifelong friends Walter S. Diehl and Paul M. Fink. On the back of this photograph Fink wrote: The Alum Cave.
