Kephart, Horace, 1862-1931

Kephart's first camp in western North Carolina, on Dicks Creek near Dillsboro, North Carolina. The caption indicates that he named his encampment, "Camp Toco -- Dak-waw-I (fish monster place) - near Dick Creek (Here I lived alone Aug. 7 to Oct 28, 1904)." A side caption to this photograph notes, "For the legend of Toco or Dak-waw-i, localized here, see Mooney's "Myths of the Cherokee." This picture appeared in "Our Southern Highlanders" (1922 revised ed., p. 16) as "The Author's First Camp in the Smokies." This photograph is on Album Page 1 with the heading "Tuckaseegee River."
