MR. LINCOLN'S CAMERA MAN MATTHEW B. BRADY
by Roy Meredith
This volume includes 350 of Brady's "war views" and photos of dignitaries of the mid-1800's (going back to Andrew Jackson just before Jackson's death in 1845). Brady pioneered war photo-journalism giving us glimpses of the Civil War. The text is as interesting as the photos. The last part of the book is a collection (with notes) Brady prepared to give as a lecture tour in 1896, but he died two weeks before the tour was to begin.
