Gardner, Alexander, 1821-1882, U.S. Civil War era photographer.
Alexander Gardner is best remembered for the work he did with Matthew Brady as a photographer of the American Civil War. Yet, photography was not his first endeavor, nor was America his home country. Gardner was born in Scotland, and his family settled in Glasgow when he was a young boy. It was there that he attended school until the age of fourteen. At that time he left his studies behind and apprenticed himself to a jeweler. In fact, he would become quite successful as a jeweler; however, influenced by the socialist ideas of Robert Owen, Gardner longed for something different. Read More.
