Photo WCHS-03041
Photo of Brother Belder's typical Mormon home in Virgen City, Utah.
This photo is from "A Canyon Voyage" (1908) by Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh. Dellenbaugh was an
artist/photographer who accompanied John Wesley Powell on his second trip down the Colorado.
The photograph here was probably taken by J. K. Hillers a year or two before 1873 when the first
photographs from the expedition were published.
The arched top to the photos mostly disappeared after 1875 in J. W. Powell's publications.
Photo from the U.S. Geological Survey and contributed by Richard Kohler on 2/3/2016.
