About Charles Kelly Historian
- Charles Kelly (February 3, 1889 – April 19, 1971) was an American historian of the American west whose work focused on activities in the western salt desert of Utah and Nevada during the pioneer period (Bagley, p.
- vii).
- Kelly also served as the first superintendent of Capitol Reef National Monument (now Capitol Reef National Park) in Southern Utah.
- Kelly was named an Honorary Life Member of the Utah State Historical Society in 1960.
- In 1969 he received an Award of Merit from the American Association of State and Local History. Kelly was considered a careful rather than a brilliant writer, and his works have been more critically addressed and reevaluated in recent years.
- He loved western history, especially as it touched Utah, Having seen all that country again I am satisfied to live in Utah, as I believe there is more of interest to see around here than any other place in the world.
