A handsome album of views showing the area around Aberdeen, Washington, shot by the commercial artist Colin "C.S." Mackenzie (sometimes spelled McKenzie.") Included are portraits of loggers reminiscent of the work of Darius Kinsey, as well as many skilled, inventive views of the Aberdeen-area.
Colin C.S. Mackenzie (sometimes spelled 'McKenzie") was a Canadian-American logger who took up commercial photography in 1903, after injuring his back in a fire, learning the trade from fellow WA photographer Charles R. Pratsch. MacKenzie opened his own studio in 1908. Around that time he became a deputy sheriff, and he was described as "the best officers the county had ever had." In 1912, Mackenzie was tragically killed in pursuit John Turnow, an escaped mental patient turned fugitive killer known in the press as "the Wild Man of the Wynoochee."
