From Rainbow Falls to the Tennessee River WHEN WATER starts out to seek the level of the sea from a spring on the top of Mount LeConte, it makes more than five thousand feet of its descent within the distance of a few miles! Starting at an elevation of 5680 feet, it courses down the side of the mountain by way of Rainbow Falls, dashes over the rocky bed of Mill Creek, on into Pigeon river near Gatlinburg, where the altitude is about 1200 feet. The flow is thence to the French Broad river, which comes down from the Smokies on the North Carolina side, and joins with the Holston river five miles from Knoxville these two streams at that point forming the Tennessee river, whose waters finally reach the Gulf through the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. charm of PHolo *M| Hobin Thompson No standing water is be found in the Smokies, which means, also, no mosquitoes. H I he great S the Smokies, and their economic value to the nation as well, is due in part to their abundant stream now. 4* ;2 Development of power plants in this region has in no way detracted from the scenery. The "little journey" indicated by the pictures on this page, is that which has been referred to as "From Rainbow Falls to the Tennessee River," and shows the course of the stream from near the top of LeConte to a point near Knoxville, as follows : 1.—Rainbow Falls, on Mount LeConte, along the trail leading to the top. 2.—Mill Creek, beiow Rainbow Falls. 3.—Mill Creek, near its junction with Pigeon River above Gatlinburg. 4.-Pigeon River at Gatlinburg. Copyrighted* 5.—Pigeon River below Gatlinburg. Weste™ Carolina University Hunter Library 6.—French Broad River near its junction with Pigeon River. 7.—Tennessee River, below the "Forks," where it has its source in the merging of the French Broad and the Holston rivers.
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.
