Ogden: The Charles Maccarthy Photographs

The latest offering of Arcadia Publishing is a volume of reproduced images from the Charles Maccarthy collection housed in the Special Collections at Weber State University's Stewart Library. In this volume, carefully curated by the head of Special Collections at Weber State, Sarah Langsdon, Maccarthy's photographs capture scenes in and around Ogden during the first half of the twentieth century. Photographs of the Maccarthy family, city streets and buildings, Ogden Canyon, public events, and the railroad (Charles was a longtime railroad employee) make up the bulk of the collection. Langston adds informational captions, which add texture to the snapshots in time.
