When in doubt... go with the Emigrant's Guide
So this is kind of random but I thought I would share my discoveries with you all. I was just reading the Emigrant's Guide and came across a photo that I had seen before. It is the photo on page 120 with a log cabin and a family out front. It says that this photo is taken in Echo city, which I did not know existed and think is kind of cool; however, this same photo appears in the Utah history text book, Utah a Journey of Discovery by Richard Neitzel Holzapfel page 144. I know that some of you may use this same text book and find this interesting. The part that annoys me is that in the text book it says that this photo is taken in Kaysville and that two of the women in it are the photographer's wife and friend. So I looked in the back of the book to find out who the photographer was and I can't find anyone listed for that photo. In the Emigrant's Guide it says that the photo is taken by A.J. Russell and that the photo is of the Ashton family of Echo, Utah. I think I'm going to go with the Emigrant's Guide on this one.
