The photographer notes, “Buildings at Balsam Lodge, with East (or highest) Peak of Mount LeConte in the background. At the left is the kitchen. In the center is the old cabin. In the right background is Jack Huff’s cabin. The cabin at the right, which accommodates 12 people in beds, with springs and mattresses, is for the public.” 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.
