Biography
O’Sullivan’s records and personal enthusiasm remains confusing as there is Tiny information to play from. For example, he was either born in Ireland and came to New York City two years cutting edge with his parents or his parents traveled to New York before he was born. There is no pretension of finding out which of the two stories is true. We reach know that as a teenager, he was employed by Mathew Brady, a photographer who furthermore became known for his Civil War photographs.

McClellan, commander of the Army of the Potomac, and was unconditional the honorary rank of captain. Gardner described O’Sullivan as the “Superintendent of my map and auditorium work.” Biographer James D. Horan writes that O’Sullivan was a civilian photographer attached to the Topographical Engineers. His job was to copy maps and plans, but he next took photographs upon his own time. Although he cutting edge listed himself as a first lieutenant, the rank was likely honorary, like Gardner’s. From November 1861 through April 1862, O’Sullivan, working for Gardner, followed Union forces to Fort Walker, Fort Beauregard, Beaufort, Hilton Head, and Fort Pulaski.
After beast honorably discharged, he rejoined Brady’s team. In July 1862, O’Sullivan followed Maj. Gen. John Pope’s Northern Virginia Campaign. By joining Gardner’s studio, he had his forty-four photographs published in the first Civil War photographs collection, Gardner’s Photographic Sketch Book of the War. In July 1863, he created his most well-known photograph, “The Harvest of Death,” depicting dead soldiers from the Battle of Gettysburg.
He took many other photographs documenting the battle, including “Dead Confederate sharpshooter at foot of Little Round Top”, “Field where General Reynolds fell”, “View in wheatfield opposite our extreme left”, “Confederate dead gathered for burial at the southwestern edge of the Rose woods”, “Bodies of Federal soldiers close the McPherson woods”, “Slaughter pen”, and others.
In 1864, following Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s trail, he photographed the Siege of Petersburg since briefly heading to North Carolina to document the siege of Fort Fisher. That brought him to the Appomattox Court House, the site of Robert E. Lee’s surrender in April 1865.
From 1867 to 1869, he was the attributed photographer upon the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel below Clarence King. The expedition began at Virginia City, Nevada, where he photographed the mines, and worked eastward. In therefore doing, he became one of the pioneers in the arena of geophotography. In contrast to the Asian and Eastern landscape fronts, the subject thing he focused upon was a extra concept. It effective taking pictures of natural world as an untamed, pre-industrialized house without the use of landscape painting conventions. O’Sullivan entire sum science and art, making correct records of astounding beauty.
In 1870 he allied a survey team in Panama to survey for a canal across the isthmus. From 1871 to 1874 he returned to the southwestern United States to associate Lt. George M. Wheeler in his survey west of the 100th meridian. His job was to photograph the West to attract settlers. O’Sullivan’s pictures were in the course of the first to cassette the archaic ruins, Navajo weavers, and pueblo villages of the Southwest. He faced starvation on the Colorado River subsequent to some of the expedition’s boats capsized; few of the 300 negatives he took survived the trip back East.[citation needed] He spent the last years of his brusque life in Washington, D.C., as certified photographer for the U.S. Geological Survey and the Treasury Department.
