TEN YEARS IN THE SMOKIES, OR THE HILL-BILLYS' TRIUMPH On October 18, 1924, twenty sturdy and adventurous Knoxvillains wrapped their toes about the laurel, fixed their eyes on the Belt of Orion and struggled bravely toward the Sevier County Mecca—LeConte. Some clamered up to the Chimney Tops as a mild appetizer. Then, on a clear Sunday, there on the tip top of Le Conte, twenty strong they drew their panting breaths— all but two, for we suppose the ladies merely breathed deeply. On this day was engendered the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. Six of the group are still active members of the Club. During the fall the formal organization was effected, with George Barber as president. In 1926, an eight page leaflet appeared, containing the first yearly schedule of hikes, beginning with a trip to Look Rock. During the administration of Jim Thompson, 1928-29, the Appalachian Trail movement was gathering impetus and in June, 1931, President Jennison was chief host at the Fifth Appalachian Trail Conference at Gatlinburg. The enthusiasm for trail marking exceeded all bounds during 1932 and trail clearing trips to the Yellow Creek Mountain portion of the Appalachian Trail became fruitful of furlongs, yea miles of open paths. October, 1934, will mark much more than the tenth anniversary of the Club. With the aid of the National Park Service, the Appalachian Trail will have been cleared and marked throughout the Club territory; the long-projected cabin and shelter plans will show tangible results. Equally gratifying is the building up of an active, interested membership, harmonious in its inner workings and cooperative in its contacts. Wahoo! 9
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1934 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
