Southern Photography During the American Civil War
In 1846, the Mexican-American War was the first American conflict with photographers to record first hand accounts of this history. The second was the Crimean War in 1854, and the third was the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Union photographers such as Matthew Brady are very well-known, and Brady is considered to be the father of photojournalism. He was a passionate photographer and master of his craft. History knows quite a bit about Brady and other Union photographers and their work. However, less well-known are the Southern photographers.
Many photographs were taken by Southerners, but unfortunately most of them were destroyed at the end of the war. The bitter loss and disappointment was too much for many to bear, and so these precious photos were very often destroyed.
George Cook was the most famous of the Southern photographers. He is known for recording the military destruction of Charleston, Ft. Sumter, and he even captured ironclad action near Ft. Sumter. Tragically, most of his work was destroyed in a fire in 1864. In 1880, he relocated to Richmond, where he purchased most of the work and negatives of many Southern photographers who were retiring or moving. As a result, he had amassed the biggest collection of Southern photography at the time.
Robert Smith was another prominent Southern photographer who was also a Confederate lieutenant. During the war he was captured and held at Johnson's Island, Ohio. Amazingly, he was able to secretly construct a wet-plate camera. He used a spyglass lens, a knife, pine box and tin can. Prison security was apparently pretty lax! He then used his newly constructed camera to take undercover images of fellow prisoners and prison life in general. He was able to procure chemicals from the prison hospital to use in his developing process. It is an amazing story! Unfortunately, few Robert Smith images have survived today.
The American Civil War was the most thoroughly covered event of the 19th century. Even conflicts that came later did not have the coverage that the Civil War did. The photography is one of the main aspects that draws most interest to this conflict. By the time of the American Civil War, the art of photography was already 21 years old. We are fortunate that the technology of photography was developed just in time for the most sobering conflict in American history.

About the Author
Do u know photo from the U.S. Civil Rights era which shows a protester dancing in the water from water hose?
It is a photograph from the 50's or 60's of a black female protester dancing in the water coming from a water hose being aimed at her and other protesters by the police. She is dancing while other protesters are running away. Does anyone have a copy of this photo, or know the name of the photo, or the name of the photographer?
Yes. I am familiar with that photograph. I just can't find it. I'll keep trying later today, though. I'm pretty good at finding historical photographs. It was most difficult to look through all those old photographs just now. The hosings were some of the worst images back then. Here's good old democracy-hating Fox News' slant on the news back then:
