This photograph came to me as a gift from the grandson of Carlos Campbell. Campbell was a great proponent of the idea that the high country between Sevierville and the Cherokee Reservation should be somehow protected from commercial development, a idea which would ultimately become The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Campbell toured with printed examples of his photography to show local residents and national dignitaries the rare beauty of the southern mountains. His work, along with such figures as Horace Kephart, helped to motivate both North Carolina and Tennessee legislators to support the development of the Park. As shown on the reverse of the image, this was used in those presentations and is numbered as 380. I have another I’ll post at another time. The image itself depicts a farmer, and the caption reads: “Tennessee - Near Sevierville Sorghum is grown generall thought the valleys (foothills). Planted in rows as seen here, it is grown for making “molasses” — known as “the poor man’s sweet”. Sown broadcast or drilled in closer rows, it is often brown as fees for cattle and horses. Cutting cane (sorghum) on the far of L.A. Latham, Route 5, Sevierville, Tennessee. Great Smoky Mountains National Park region. October 2, 1934.” The park was officially created in June of the same year. A special thanks to Frank who gifted me this fine photograph. . . . . . . . #carloscampbell #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #blackandwhitephotography #gsmnp #sevierville #tennessee #photography #northcarolina #thesmokies #antiquephoto #sorghum #molasses #farming #knoxville #tn #nc #blackandwhite (at Sevierville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqoG0f3pjk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

we got our wedding photos back !!! these are some of my very favorites
we had our ceremony in great smoky mountains national park—elkmont, specifically—so, instead of throwing rice or whatever, we had everyone ring tiny bells when we (literally) tied the knot and when we left the ceremony.
it was a wednesday at 2 in the afternoon. my sister officiated. I made the handfasting cord myself by sewing together and braiding vintage ribbons/trim that I found online, along with a custom cord that I ordered off etsy that said, "till death divide." I didn't have time to do my hair. we made 99% of the decorations. my dress was 2 sizes too big for me (but pinned to fit lmao). it was all a dream. I'd do it again a million times over and then some.
all photos are by ashley leffew photography ! if you are ever in the smokies and in need of photos, hire her!!! she was my first friend in high school heehee she's amazing
