Pack animals (Transportation)

Ennis Ownby, fire guard in the Greenbrier section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and his pack horse Prince, explore new territory. They are on the crest of the Great Smokies at Silers Medows, the open field between Double Springs Gap and Silers Bald. 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.
