biographie de Charles Roscoe SAVAGE (1832-1909)

Birth place: England (came to NYC in 1856)

Addresses: Salt Lake City, UT (1860-on)

Profession: Photographer

Comments: A Western photographer, he is perhaps best remembered for his historic view of the joining of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads at Promontory Point, Utah, in 1869. His firm, Savage & Ottinger, produced many views of the Rockies and Great Plains, often as stereoviews.
