Hikers with tulip poplar

This photograph, with others in this series, are included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. The photograph includes E. P. (Sonny) Morris and Ernest Dickerman looking at a large big tulip poplar. The photograph was taken by Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), a member of the club. Campbell is best known as a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association and author of “Birth of a National Park,” published in 1960
