the evenings at frequent intervals, chiefly in the Gatlinburg hotels, and these serve to acquaint the visitor with the natural history of the area. Mimeographed programs describing the nature-guide service are available (June-October) at headquarters and at subheadquarters, and are posted in hotels and various places throughout the park. The Southern Highlands is truly a land rich in vacation pleasure. No matter what you seek, you will find it here. The Southern Highlands opens its arms to you and its people will join in giving you vacation pleasure that you will not soon forget. These Highlanders are a people of intense individuality; the strong and violent independence that they fought to win for themselves and their homes made them forsake all the comforts of civilization. The people of the mountains live by farming, hunting, fishing and cattle raising. It is only by the establishment of this area into a National Park that these original pioneering people have endured, otherwise the last glimpse of the frontier and the American wilderness would long ago have been swallowed by advancing man-made civilization. Many famous names have come from the families of the Great Smoky Mountains: Clarke, Admiral Farragut, Sergeant York, Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln. The white population of the region still exhibits the pristine ruggedness and self-sufficiency of the pioneer period shortly after the American Revolution.
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.
