[Identification of item], John E. Hurlbut Salt Lake City Album: "A Year in Shadow Land",
Mss90, Holt-Atherton Department of Special Collections, University of the Pacific Library
Rev. John E. Hurlbut was a Congregationalist minister who lived for at least one year in
Salt Lake City, Utah (1888). While there, he wrote several poems evocative of the city
and its environs and incorporated the former in an album together with photos of the area
by Charles Roscoe Savage and an unknown photo-grapher---possibly Hurlbut himself. On the
last album page is the photo of a bearded man on horseback; this may be a photo of John
E. Hurlbut.
The poems are hand-lettered in black ink on gold or silver foil panels. These are pasted
on the album pages above and below the photographs. Poem titles, supplied by their
author, are given below in quotation marks. C.R. Savage has also supplied titles for his
photos.
