Taken from a hill above a dirt road just west of Sevierville, where the courthouse tower can be seen, is the east end of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The mountain range in the background includes (L to R) White Rock, Low Gap (behind the tree), Old Black, Mount Guyot, and Mount Chapman in the center. 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.
