Photographer	Thompson Brothers
Description	View of Mt. Chapman. Old number 12220 A3
Photographer's Description	The three-pointed peak on the Tennessee-North Carolina state line, and overlooking the largest wilderness section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, was named for Col. David C. Chapman, of Knoxville, who led the long and difficult fight that brought about the establishment of the park. In naming this 6430-foot peak--fourth highest in the park--in honor of Col. Chapman, the United States Geographic Board, on October 7, 1931 issued a statement in which it said that the peak was named for David C. Chapman, whose initiative and persistent activity through many years was largely responsible for the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
