Hikers' salute

Crowder, Orville W.

Hikers

Jackman, A. H.

The photographer notes, “Orville Crowder’s salute, with one raised finger, means ‘whereas.’ A.H. Jackman’s two-fingered replying salute means ‘Be it resolved.’ It’s all a hangover from the Skyland, Va. meeting of the Appalachian Trail Conference. June 22-23, 1935. This was snapped at Ekaneetlee Gap.” 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.
