  • On the reverse of this image is written, "Tri-Corner Knob - junction of Balsam Mountains (N.C.) with Tenn. - N.C. state line - as seen from tower on Mt. Guyot. The dotted line shows course of Appalachian Trail along the state line -Walter Berry - 8-10-32." The photograph is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club which was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. The back of the picture is stamped “Jim Thompson Co.,” indicating it was probably printed by hiking club member James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976), a professional photographer who played a major role in promoting a national park in the Southern Appalachians.
