The great western photographer Charles Savage was twenty-three years old in 1855 when he migrated to America on a sailing ship packed with immigrants from England. Savage kept a detailed journal of his on-board experiences as well as his adventures crossing America in a covered wagon with camera and family to the promised land in Utah. Savage was an accomplished and prolific photographer who lived successfully within his Salt Lake City community and travelled widely throughout the West taking photographs and befriending other important photographers of his day such as Carleton Watkins, Timothy O'Sullivan, Alfred Hart and A. J. Russell. Savage took several of the West's most famous images at the celebration of the joining of the transcontinental railroads at Promontory, Utah, in 1869, the first photographs of what became Zion National Park, Native Americans, and the construction of Mormon shrines such as the Temple and Tabernacle. His photographs were sold throughout the United States and internationally, and despite losing his negatives to fire, Savage persevered and maintained the premier photographic studio in 19th century Utah.

Historical

The creative and commercial output of William Henry Jackson was staggering. He lived 99 years, and left thousands of paintings, photographs, sketches, prints, illustrations, articles and books in his wake. From photographing the post-Civil War expansion into the Western U.S. to publishing colorful art prints of people and scenes from around the world, Jackson was always prominent. His influence was felt by many and remains pervasive to this day, as he continues to be one of the most studied and written about of America's 19th century photographers.This bibliography has been an ongoing interest of Dr. Harrell's for many years and presents the scholarly and collecting world with an invaluable resource for understanding Jackson, the American West and the history of photography as reflected in Jackson's continual growth through changing technology and times.

Humble Work & Mad Wanderings is a brilliant photographic, social, and personal history by one of our most knowledgeable photographic historians, who shows himself to be one of our best story tellers as well. Inspired by images of individuals trying to survive while still holding on to their dignity, Appollo interweaves a poignant narrative that again and again rises to philosophy and poetry. Out of his narrative, one comes to many of the universal truths of poverty, truths that span cultures and time and which, following his analysis, can be seen in photograph after photograph. What Appollo finally produces is a moving social documentary about poverty on the streets, about police and power, and about middle class attitudes toward the destitute.
