Hikers on Hawksbill Mountain

Hikers on Hawksbill Mountain

From the top of Hawksbill Mountain we see Stony Man Mountain (both in Shenandoah National Park). In the picture, left to right, Dr. George M. Hall, Mary Elizabeth Judson, Carlos C. Campbell, John C. Judson, Myron H. Avery, and Harriett Fowlkes. The picture was taken by Marcus Book for Carlos C. Campbell 1892-1978), who 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.
