A haunting image of an unnamed Native child and a recovered story of the American West In 1868, celebrated Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner traveled to Fort Laramie to document the federal government's treaty negotiations with the Lakota and other tribes of the northern plains. Gardner, known for his iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln and his visceral pictures of the Confederate dead at Antietam, posed six federal peace commissioners with a young Native girl wrapped in a blanket. The hand-labeled prints carefully name each of the men, but the girl is never identified.  As The Girl in the Middle: A Recovered History of the American West (Princeton University Press, 2025) goes in search of her, it draws readers into the entangled lives of the photographer and his subjects. Martha A. Sandweiss paints a riveting portrait of the turbulent age of Reconstruction and westward expansion. She follows Gardner from his birthplace in Scotland to the American frontier, as his dreams of a utopian future across the Atlantic fall to pieces. She recounts the lives of William S. Harney, a slave-owning Union general who earned the Lakota name “Woman Killer,” and Samuel F. Tappan, an abolitionist who led the investigation into the Sand Creek massacre. And she identifies Sophie Mousseau, the girl in Gardner's photograph, whose life swerved in unexpected directions as American settlers pushed into Indian Country and the federal government confined Native peoples to reservations. Spinning a spellbinding historical tale from a single enigmatic image, The Girl in the Middle reveals how the American nation grappled with what kind of country it would be as it expanded westward in the aftermath of the Civil War. Martha A. Sandweiss is professor emerita of history at Princeton University, where she is founding director of the Princeton & Slavery Project. Caleb Zakarin is editor at the New Books Network.

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. Music The Theory by Clem Leek Hiddensee by Caeys The Clock Tower by Hampshire and Foat Notes If you want to know more about Gardner, I'd suggest Witness to an Era: the Life and Photographs of Alexander Gardner, by Mark Katz. On Brady, Matthew Brady: Portraits of a Nation, by Robert Wilson. I'd also suggest reading the New York Times' review of the exhibit. It's pretty stunning.

Many of us travel, but few get to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Such was the case of Alexander Gardner, an American and restless spirit who ultimately found himself in the service of the Sikh Empire of Northern India, where he fought alongside Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims to stop the British from advancing further into their territory. But how did this unassuming figure from the wilds of what's now Wisconsin end up on the opposite side of the world?

Full show notes available at: allthroughalens.com   On this episode, we’re talking with Vanessa Maestri of Armadillo Tintype. Vania and Eric also discuss storytelling through photography. Our own Tiffen Sinclair will drop by to lay it on us. We’ve got zine reviews, the answering machine, a couple of plugs and so much more. VANESSA MAESTRI – ARMADILLO TINTYPE This was such a fun interview! She talks about her work, her camera, her vision, and her Toyota Sun Land Express. Vanessa on IG: @armadillotintype www.armadillotintype.com Rancho Relaxo: https://www.ranchorelaxonj.org/ Vanessa shoots both portraits and landscapes. Here are some of her portraits: And some of her landscapes:   PHOTOS AS STORIES Storytelling is a universally human thing – it’s a trait that spans cultures, continents and oceans. If there is one thing humans all have in common, it’s death and stories (and often stories about death). When we think of stories, we think of the written word, but that encompasses only the last 5,000 of our 300,000 years as humans. Story *telling* is an oral tradition most likely dating back to the very origins of language, 100,000 years ago. But before that, pictures were used to tell stories. So, in many ways, pictures (and thus photography) is perhaps a more natural way for us, as storytellers. Or at the very least, it’s neither a foreign or new concept. What’s new is a camera (well, “relatively” new). And that’s what we’re talking about today – telling stories with our photography.   While Eric was skeptical about the idea, he eventually warmed up to it. Vania was always on board. Since this was more a theoretical sort of talk, there weren’t a lot of specific photos discussed. But we did mention two taken during the Crimean War in 1853. And two by Alexander Gardner at Antietam during the American Civil War in 1862: There was also some talk about Eric’s aborted/possibly-just-postponed Nez Perce Trail series. Here are a few shots from that: ZINE REVIEWS Vania reviewed Surviving Winter by Dmitry Gudkov (@dmitryshootsfilm).

On today’s show we’re talking to Charlie from Themselves Press, we’ll be telling you all about the weird history of police mug shots, there’s a couple of book reviews and a bit of a listener memorial to Aloy Anderson.   Full Show Notes & Photos here: https://allthroughalens.com/ CHARLIE CHUX CANDACE CAMUGLIA: THEMSELVES PRESS Last episode we interviewed Denise Grays (@deniseg316), who had just published a zine through Themselves Press. That zine distro and press is run by charlie chux candace camuglia (@casualscience) of Themselves Press (@themselvespress).  Since they’re into film photography, zines, art and cats, it just seems natural that we’d give them a call.  Here are some of their photos: This is Charlie’s site: https://www.casual-science.com/hello And don’t forget to visit themselvespress.com THE HISTORY OF MUG SHOTS It would be tempting to say that before the invention of photography, there was some sort of rudimentary form of mugshots. We might even want to claim that Wanted Posters from the Wild West and runaway slave notices were proto-mugshots. But they weren’t. Both existed before photography. Wanted posters eventually used photography, while runaway slave notices never used it at all (enslaved people were generally not photographed). In truth, mugshots grew out of the portrait industry. Both were, essentially, identical: front-facing, no expression, and photographed from the shoulders up. The stereotypical side-facing mugshot came later, and we’ll get to that. We delve into Rogues’ Galleries, Alexander Gardner, Thomas Byrnes, Cesara Lombroso, Francis Galton, Alphonse Bertillon – the usual suspects. Vania and Eric also talked about their favorite celebrity mug shots: Here are some we mentioned: We also mentioned Underworld: Mug Shots from the Roaring Twenties. ALOY ANDERSON We asked our followers on Instagram to leave us voices message memorials to Aloy Anderson, who passed away last month. His YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKbs6hVUJsDxCVpZeZPurOg His Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/aloyandersonphotography/ His memorial service is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKa_AeQ_MMQ   REVIEW: BLACK & WHITE & WEIRD ALL OVER Review of Black & White & Weird All Over by Jon “Bermuda” Schawartz.  “Bermuda” Swartz has been Weird Al Yankovic’s drummer since they met on the Dr. Demento Show in September 1980. And while he’s known mostly for that, he was also a photographer. He picked up a Minolta SRT-101 in the early 70s, and was rolling his own rolls and printing in a home darkroom not long after. He quickly discovered that he simply documented everything. When it became more economical to shoot color, he switched over. But in 1983, as Weird Al was shooting the video for “Ricky” (a Desi & Lucy-based parody of Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey”), he thought that black & white might just be the better choice to capture the shoot. He was not wrong. The book, a 200 page hardback, is made up of a couple hundred photos from 1983 to 1986, covering Al’s first album through his fourth, Polka Party.

Please consider becoming a Patron during 2021 and expand your Gettysburg education.     From Scott Hartwig: "During my 31 years with the National Park Service at Gettysburg NMP it has remained a mystery where Alexander Gardner took his famous series of photographs of Union dead on the battlefield.  Gardner seemingly offered a clue when he labeled one of the images in his 1863 catalog of photographs as a 'View in the field on the right wing where General Reynolds fell.'  There were two stereo views of the same image but their captions did not mention Reynolds.  One read, 'View in the field on right wing,' and the other, 'Federal soldiers as they fell.'  Gardner also shot two other images of this same grouping of soldiers from a different camera position.  He labeled these 'A Harvest of Death,' and 'Evidence of how severe the contest had been on the right.'"   Scott kindly sat down with Bob and I to discuss the three articles he wrote for GNMP's blog back in 2011. No one has been able to figure out where these famous photographs were taken. Even the Godfather of the field of Gettysburg photography, William Frassanito. In fact, the two photos in question (see attached) were the two photos that Mr. Frassanito said he couldn't place. After years of trying to figure it out, Scott Hartwig thinks he may have found the place.He says he's 98% sure, but is open to compelling evidence to the contrary should it ever present itself.    As always, we had a fun time talking with Scott as you'll be able to tell as soon as the show begins.   Become a Patron to access high resolution scans of the photos in question. I HIGHLY recommend that you print them out and come to Gettysburg to do your own investigation.  So what do you think? Is Scott right? Email us at matt@addressinggettysburg.com and let us know!    https://npsgnmp.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/a-mystery-solved-part-i-2/   https://npsgnmp.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/a-mystery-solved-part-2/   https://npsgnmp.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/a-mystery-solved-part-3/

Abraham Lincoln delivered his 1st inaugural address on March 4th, 1861. Read by John Greenman. James Buchanan, often the lowest ranked (or near the bottom) president, was followed by the inimitable Lincoln, often the highest (or, usually, in the top 3) ranked president. The Civil War began less than a month after this election and consumed his first term. In those first few years, his popularity was not what it is now. That changed after his death, hardly into his second term. The cover art is an 1865 photograph of Abraham Lincoln by Alexander Gardner.

He's baaaack. Mr. Alexander Gardner aka @artposer aka the love of Liz's life graces us all with his presence on this weeks episode to help recap their week abroad.

In this episode we talk about Civil War photography in relation to Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner.

The Shutter Brothers are here once again to give you a dose of film photography inspiration and education. Do you have filters in your camera bag that you don't know how to use? Was there a filter on the lens of that camera you just came home recently? Chances are that you have one of several filters that some folks simply leave on their lens all the time, but what do they do? Kevin does a deep dive into UV, UV Haze, and UV Skylight filters that, while they may project your lens from dirt and damage, they also have specific purposes that could help you make better photographs in certain conditions. Next, Kelley introduces us to a great book on American Civil War photography, War Photographs Taken on the Battlefield of the Civil War by Matthew Brady and Alexander Gardner. Many of you will recognize the names of Brady and Gardner as well-known Civil War photographers, and this book puts much of their work in one very nice volume. Their photographs are, of course of of the wet plate variety, and the quality of the work is amazing, especially giving the conditions in which they were made. The book can be purchased online here. Kelley continues with a camera, the Canon T70 SLR, which was Canon's entry into the automated yet fully manual 35mm camera market. The camera utilizes various program and automatic exposure modes, a built-in spot meter, a motor drive and has a large, bright viewfinder. Like many cameras of its era, it completely relies on battery power to work. Without batteries, the camera will not power up.

Author and Journalist Sathnam Sanghera nominates a Great Life; a man dismissed as a fantasist and a liar in his own lifetime. Alexander Gardner was a Scottish-American soldier, a traveller, an explorer and adventurer - a white man with a tartan turban, who ended up in India in a Maharaja's Sikh Army in the 19th Century, just before the British Raj took over. Possibly a plagiarist and touted as a scoundrel, yet Sathnam claims he's worthy of a bigger place in history. If just a tiny portion of what we think we know about him is true, he is a genuinely remarkable figure. Joining Sathnam is our expert witness to Gardner's life, the historian John Keay. The presenter is Matthew Parris, and the Producer is Perminder Khatkar.

We weigh in on the firing of the photo staff by the Chicago Sun Times. Plus, we look at two Civil War era photographers, Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner as our Photographers of the Week.
