An old rifle and powder horn sit on the top step of some stairs in front of double doors. The rifle belonged to A. P. Rutherford, and was formerly owned by his uncle, Russell Rutherford, in Corryton (House Mountain), Tennessee, where he killed hogs for his neighbors. The gun was stored in a hollow tree during the Civil War. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
