Description

A group photo taken at the start of a three-day hike from Newfound Gap to Deals Gap, a distance of 39.5 miles. From left to right are, A. G. (Dutch) Roth, Myron H. Avery, Carlos C. Campbell, A. H. Jackman, E. Guy Frizzell, and Orville W. Crowder. Avery is holding a measuring wheel. Noted with the image is, “the photograph was taken by Zimmerman for Carlos C. Campbell.” 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.
