| Description | The collection of 49 photographs taken by various photographers span the dates 1914 to the mid 1920's. The photographs consist mainly of logging operations of the Ritter Lumber Company in several of the logging towns and camps maintained by the company in western North Carolina. Members of the Brooks family are central to many of the photographs. The greater number of the photographs of logging operations and locomotives and equipment are taken in the Proctor camp, located on Hazel Creek in Swain County and today incorporated into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Other photographs show operations of the Sunburst Lumber Company of Canton, N. C., the Asheville Telephone exchange, and a locomotive in the Asheville yards, 1918. The collection documents early logging practices and and the activities of the logging camp worker. |
