Greenbrier Pinnacle ranger's cabin and fire tower

Description

Looking thru base of the fire tower to the ranger’s cabin on Greenbrier Pinnacle built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) boys from Camp David C. Chapman. Because of dense clouds on the mountain, the photographer’s group could not see more than 100 yards. 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.
