In 1974, Paul M. Fink published Backpacking Was the Only Way, a
memoir of exploration in the Smoky Mountain backcountry that is
long out of print. The basis of the book was a journal kept from
1914 to 1938, combined with evocative photographs that Fink
compiled into a manuscript he called Mountain Days. The manuscript
is now considered to be a unique and insightful first-person
account of the region. Containing rare historical accounts of the
manways, camps, and cabins once used by adventurers exploring the
mountains before the advent of the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, this is the first widely-accessible publication of Mountain
Days. This edition features a new foreword by Ken Wise, professor
and director of the Great Smoky Mountain Regional Project at the
University of Tennessee-Knoxville's John C. Hodges Library. An open
access edition of Mountains Days is available from the Hunter
Library at Western Carolina University.
