Alexander Gardner’s 1867 Connection to Tonganoxie
Michael Pearce dropped by the Library and shared an interesting internet site with us. Alexander Gardner, a noted Civil War photographer and colleague of Matthew Brady, was in Tonganoxie in 1867 taking photographs of the proposed Kansas Pacific railroad right of way. Some biographical and historical information on Gardner is available by following link 1., below. Link 2. will display a gallery of 10 wet plate photographs held by the Kansas State Historical Society. The KSHS has collected and cataloged well over 100 more of these treasured Gardner glass plates which are available for your inspection in their Kansas Memory Alexander Gardner Collection.
