| Description | A Wisconsin Pioneer in Photography: This biography reviews the life of Henry Hamilton Bennett (1843-1908), who is best remembered for his landscape photography of Wisconsin Dells. The article briefly recounts Bennett's service in the Twelfth Wisconsin Infantry before detailing his career as photographer, which began in 1865. Bennett drew people to the Dells with his detailed photographs of rafting and lumber running, railroads, the Winnebago Indians (including Chief Yellow Thunder (1774-1874)), and beautiful scenery. The article mentions that he owned the most up-to-date photographic studio and equipment in the world, much of which he built himself. It also describes his original techniques and credits him as the first to photograph fireworks, as well as the creator of panoramic pictures. (12 pages) |
