Tower and fire ranger’s cabin on Greenbrier Pinnacle (Elevation 4585 feet). The photographer notes, “The cabin will be ‘cemented’ over the chinking between the hand-hewn logs after a few more months seasoning. The cabin was completed in December 1934.” 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.
