William Wyckoff has done a splendid job of exhuming Mac McCloud and his photographs of everyday life in Denver's now fading Black neighborhood of Five Points." - Thomas J. Noel, author of Colorado: A Historical Atlas"William Wyckoff breathes new life into a remarkable collection of images taken by Burnis 'Mac' McCloud during the middle years of the twentieth century, introducing Denver's legendary African American photographer to a new generation of admirers. More important, he uses McCloud's evocative photos of the Five Points neighborhood to transport readers to a time and to a place that today exists only in the pages of this book." - Geoffrey L. Buckley, coeditor of The American Environment Revisited: Environmental Historical Geographies of the United States
