A good example of the “fire road,” built by Camp David C. Chapman Civilian Conservation Corps boys from Greenbrier. The road leads to the old Messer place in Greenbrier. The tip of a turn-around is seen in the foreground. Greenbrier Pinnacle is in the right background. Note the neatness of the bank on the left and the big rock just to the right of Marshall Wilson’s automobile. 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.
