This 27-page manuscript recounts the involvement of Arnold Guyot in the Great Smoky Mountains. A geologist and geographer, Arnold Henry Guyot (1807-1884), began his exploration of the Appalachians in 1849. His purpose was to record the elevations of various peaks and develop a systematic geographic outline of the mountain systems of the eastern United States. The manuscript was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Myron Haliburton Avery (1899–1952), was president of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and chairman of the board of the Appalachian Trail Conference.
