Mount LeConte (6593 ft. elev.) and Gatlinburg (1292 ft. elev.) as seen from across the river from Gatlinburg. The photographer notes, “This is the greatest range in elevation (5301 feet) in a 5-mile map radius to be found east of the Mississippi River.” Brushy Mountain is at extreme left and Bull Head at extreme right. 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.
