Travel: Boyhood home of a famous outlaw 2024-07-21 - The American West - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking. Robert writes, "I could let Columbia Magazine readers take a guess as to what famous outlaw lived here during their boyhood years...however, since I've posted numerous photos of my recent trip to Utah, the guessing will be much easier. This location really surprised us; we were unaware of it and pretty much happened upon it while traveling through. Subsequent photos will reveal the outlaw, but for now, anyone care to guess how the misty/foggy, almost ghostly effect (trick photography) was accomplished in this image, and who the outlaw was?"
