Similarly to Alexander Gardner, Timothy O'Sullivan was an American photographer known for his artwork of the American Civil war. He actually joined Gardner in his work after he fought in the Civil war. O'Sullivan was commissioned first lieutenant and fought in several battles throughout the war. When he joined Gardner, his photograph named "The Harvest of Death" was recognized as his most famous photograph. As his career continued, he followed United States president Ulysses Grant through other battles and photographed them. His work was considered to be the first record of prehistoric ruins of these wars.
