Thanks to a nearly complete set of Denver, CO, city directories a good look at the photographic career of George W McDonald is available. That's quite an accomplishment considering the name "G W McDonald" was not uncommon in that area.
The years between 1882 and 1890 are still a mystery but these would be the years that the McDonald family was moving from Collingwood, Ontario to Denver, Co. At that time, Photographer George McDonald would have been in his 20’s.
