  • Summary

  • Tales of history and policing in and around Ogden City, Utah. From the railroad junction population explosion to the modern day. Electric Alley in all its shady glory and the evolution of 25th Street. A deep dive into the history of those who’ve walked Ogden’s streets and has their stories buried in its history. We are dusting off the stories, the events of Ogden’s past and in doing so, shaking the hands of these people who made Ogden the unique city that it is. We do exhaustive research to bring you these stories in the vernacular and parlance of the newspapers and documents written at the time.

    We read directly from these articles and documents verbatim, and we do this because it is important to keep an unfiltered view of history. In doing so, we might repeat words or situations that may be offensive to the listener. We ask that you understand that we are trying to bring you the history as it was, good or bad, offensive, or not. It doesn’t represent the opinions of anyone at the Junction City Justice Podcast, it represents the person who wrote at the time it was written. Our view is that history is what it is and we will bring it to you unfiltered. We do not represent any law enforcement agencies, officially or unofficially. Our opinions are ours and history is what it is.

    Now, sit back and enjoy!

    Ogden, Utah comes with a rough-and-tumble local reputation, but what is that built on? What if we told you that a notorious gang of outlaws led by one of the most dangerous individuals the west had, was based right here out of Ogden? And what would the battle between the outlaws of the Furey Gang and the coppers of the Ogden Police look like?

    Lucky for you we have all the answers right here, and on top of that, this has all been lost to local history and we have rediscovered it here, for you. Chase the gang down the trail with us in the dying days of the Wild West as we take the Last Ride of the Furey Gang.

    We hope you have all had a great summer. We have been busy this summer, as we’ve hinted, getting to know Ogden’s own living legend Ray Hobbs, and his wonderful family. First and foremost we’d like to thank them for their trust in preserving their grandfather’s legacy. We’d also like to thank Ray for taking the time to sit down with us repeatedly, and giving us the opportunity to honor him. Ray was a B17 pilot in World War Two. But he is so much more than that. A son, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, member of the Greatest Generation, and a Son of Ogden. If you attended the rodeo on Military Appreciation Night you got a glimpse of Ray Hobbs. Now we take you in-depth into what a great Man he is. From his memories of Old Ogden to his time in the Service and present day, we are pleased to bring you Ogden’s Own Ray Hobbs - The Story of a B17 Pilot. 100 years in the making.
