Page 26 Clippings showing "Moonshine Mills" and related views. Kephart includes the caption: "(All of these half-tones are from my series on the "The Mountain Moonshiner" in Field and Stream, Sept. 15 to Nov. 10, 1908" Lower photograph: "Quill Rose, Aunt Vice, and Jake Rose's Daughters"	Page 27 - Great Smoky Mountains Lower left clipping: "Quill Rose" Lower right photograph: "Old Quill"
Notes: The caption on page 26 is missing a closing parenthesis in the album. The lower photograph on page 26 is missing, but was published on page 16 of Our Southern Highlanders. This image was scanned from the 1921 edition of the book. The clipping on page 27 was and not included with the album photographs. However, this image has been added since it matches the tear marks on the page and the topic. Additional photographs for these two pages are missing or have not been identified. There is a photograph in folder 14 of the loose photographs with the notation "A rock house in Moonshine land. See Our Southern Highlanders p. 152." This notation is written in ink and is not Kephart's handwriting. Please see explanation in About the Virtual Album.
