Patrick Adkins:

Simply amazing. Especially the pictures you were able to use to illustrate the story.

My name is Patrick Adkins. I am a graduate student at East Tennessee State University. I am currently making a documentary about the town of Erwin, TN and the hanging of Mary the Elephant.

After reading this and seeing the amazing images, I contacted Martha Erwin at the Unicoi County Heritage Museum. She said that a scrapbook containing photographs was taken from the museum some time ago. I was wondering if you would happen to still have the photos that you used in this story in a larger resolution? They would be so helpful in the making of the documentary.

If you think you might still have the images, please feel free to email me back at this address:
adkinsp@goldmail.etsu.edu

Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick, I don’t believe we have high res versions of these photos. You can search through newspaper records of the time, maybe the Library of Congress.
