still play the Cherokee game of ball, one of the world's most strenuous sports. Many are expert in archery and in the use of the blowgun. It is appropriate that the Great Smokies keep for the modern world a picture of the past, because, compared with them, the other mountains in this country are comparatively young. Geologists tell us that The Great Smokies are part of one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. None other has its wealth of trees and flowers. A wonderland of plant life adds friendly charm to the towering peaks —sixteen of which rise more than 6000 feet above sea level, timbered to their crests. For almost six months of the year the flower shows of laurel, rhododendron, flame azalea, wild aster and scores of others march on to a blazing climax when autumn colors splash their brilliance in crimsons, browns and yellows to the mountain tops. From the heights the rolling mountains seem to stretch limitless to the horizon in every direction. You are seldom any distance from the streams that chuckle over rocky beds and cascade in waterfalls. The park is destined to be the most popular in the country, for it already attracts more visitors annually than any other National Park in the nation, except the Shenandoah in Virginia. Few, if any, areas in the entire United States possess so great a variety of plants. More than 1,200 flowering plants, 1,000 fungi, 300 mosses, approximately 200 lichens, and 100 liverworts have been found. The earliest flowers occasionally appear by the close of January in lowland areas,
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 32-page booklet, simply titled, “Great Smoky National Park” was produced between 1935 and 1945. The booklet begins with a description of how the park was created, beginning with the 1899 effort by the Appalachian National Park Association to Congressional approval in 1926 and the significant financial donation made by the Rockefeller family. The booklet includes mention of mountain people and the Cherokee people living on the adjacent Qualla Boundary. Other topics include plant and animal life, weather, elevations, camping, trails, and trail rules. A “Travel Index” lists distances to various peaks from two park entrances and a schematic map shows relative elevations. Fifteen full-page, hand-colored photographs depict scenes in the park, including two of the “loop-over” road.
