Kephart, Horace, 1862-1931

Log cabins

The Hall Cabin (North Carolina room on left, Tennessee room on right - State line - the watershed of the Smokies - runs through the entry- Elevation, 4900 feet above sea-level- J.B. Anderson and I lived here through the three summer months of 1907.) This photograph is on Album page 33 with the heading "Great Smoky Mts." The handwritten text on back reads: "Our cabin on the Smokies. Altitude 4,800 ft. The room with window is in Tenn.; the other in N.C. Nearest house in N.C. 5 miles, & 2000 ft. below; in Tenn., 8 miles; to the westward. On clear days the mts. & valleys for over 100 miles in every direction are visible from this point, with no sign of cultivation save in Tenn. The cabin is frequently in or above the clouds. Clingman Dome & several other mts. Higher than Mt. Washington are our neighbors. All peaks covered with dense forest save a few `balds' of 10 or 15 acres. Trees on summit are battle-scarred; but those on lower slopes & coves are 100 to 150 x 6 to 9 ft." This image is a blue line photograph.
