Wilson, Marshall A.

Marshall Wilson and West Barber stand under a leaning tree where the Appalachian Trail “tops out” on the Tennessee - North Carolina state line, between the two points of Eagle Rocks. The photographer notes that “the view from there is thrilling and spectacular. Below, is a sheer cliff hundreds of feet.” 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.
