One of the first persons to open a daguerreotype studio in the United States, George Barnard set up shop in Oswego, New York. In 1854 he moved his operation to Syracuse, New York, and began using the collodion process, a negative/positive process that allowed for multiple prints, unlike the unique daguerreotype. Along with Timothy O'Sullivan, John Reekie, and Alexander Gardner, Barnard worked for the Mathew Brady studio and is best known for his photo-documentation of the American Civil War. In 1864 he was made the official photographer for the United States Army, Chief Engineer's Office, Division of the Mississippi. He followed Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's infamous march to the sea and in 1866 published an album of sixty-one photographs, *Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign*. After the war he continued primarily as a portrait photographer in Ohio, Chicago, Charleston, South Carolina, and Rochester, New York, where he briefly worked with George Eastman, the founder of the Eastman Kodak Company.
