Footbridges

Mr. Robert Fechner, director of Emergency Conservation Work, with party on cantilever footbridge across Middle Prong of Little Pigeon River just below mouth of Ramsey Prong in Greenbrier. This bridge was built by Civilian Conservation Corps boys from Camp David C. Chapman. L. W. Frierson is project superintendent and “Uncle” Joe Davis is bridge foreman. 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.
