Copy righted Material ^Vestern Carolina University Hunter Library Photo by Robin Thompson VIEW FROM A ROAD WITHIN THE PARK Tours in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Adjacent Sections COMBINING unexcelled natural beauty and historic interest dating back not only to the early days of American history, but antedating those periods, the Great Smoky Mountains constitute an area ideal in many respects for the use of the people of the United States as a National Park. Geologists tell of the formation of these lofty hills back in the ages when the world was young; legend and mythological lore make up most of the history of the Red Men who inhabited these mountains hundreds of years ago. With the eventual passing of this savage race and the coming of the early white settlers into the Smokies this region became the dwelling place of a type of American citizen to whom we owe much—"determined home-makers, invincible republic builders." Within the confines of a book the size of this it is impossible to present more than a fleeting glance at a few of the outstanding scenes of grandeur, of which there are hundreds, or to attempt more than a brief description of the Park area and the adjacent territory. There is only one way by which one may obtain any conception of the delightful scenery of this section, and that is by means of tours up into the heart of the Smokies and over the highways of adjoining sections. These highways, leading to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and traversing nearby territory, afford not only panoramic distant views of the mountains from many points, but pass through sections of the adjacent territory that are sufficiently beautiful and varied to alone make it well worth while to travel a long way to see them. Some beautiful old homes, many of them more than a hundred years old, stand along the state-maintained highways which at one time were stage coach roads. Over these old roads many men and women of former generations came in search of health and recreation among the highlands and at the springs and watering places that made the section justly famous.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

“The Great Smoky Mountains National Park” is a 32-page booklet produced by the Great Smoky Mountains Publishing Company, Inc. and edited by R. R. Stripling. The booklet contains many photographs by the Thompson Brothers of Knoxville, Tennessee. Published in 1930, the booklet was written before the establishment of the national park and promotes both the park and the city of Knoxville as “The Great Smoky Mountains City.” While many brochures feature photographs by James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976), this booklet also includes images by his brother, Robin Thompson (1895-1977). Essays describe the geography, trees, and wildflowers of the Smokies. While the park lies almost equally in North Carolina and Tennessee, this brochure refers only to the Tennessee side of the park.
