Great Black and White Photos Part 2

My favorite out of the three is Timothy O'Sullivan because he is known for photographing the Civil War  era. He also was the photographer following a very big public figure and he was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. He was born on 1840 in Ireland and died on January 14, 1882 in Staten Island because of tuberculosis at 42. He had lots of experiences while working for Mathew Brady one of the most important photographers in the Civil War Era. One of them were that he got to see Robert E. Lee surrender. He's most famous photo was 'The Harvest of Death" but the fact that his 44 photos published were in the Civil War Collection. It doesn't tell what got him to photographing or what college he went to but he did work as an apprentice for Alexander Gardener.
