This 1971 thesis reports on Horace Kephart’s involvement in promoting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Horace Kephart (1862-1931), a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author, left his work as a librarian in St. Louis in 1904 and permanently moved to western North Carolina. His popular book, “Camping and Woodcraft,” first published 1906, is considered a standard manual for campers after almost a century of use. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains, producing “Our Southern Highlanders” in 1913. Throughout his life, Kephart wrote many articles supporting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
