<p>It has been the privilege of a lifetime to have walked the battlefields of the American Civil War, where Timothy O''Sullivan walked, and where he exposed the photographic plates that render him as a photographer of high distinction. </p><p>His photographs now populate a civil war media space, mostly without due credit: The name Timothy O''Sullivan is now largely familiar only to enthusiasts and historians. </p><p>I hope that this book will span some of this distance, and carry him further forward in public understanding. </p><p>If so, it will have served its purpose. </p><p>The Walt Whitman valediction as accorded to Alexander Gardner, applies, equally, to Timothy O''Sullivan - ¿<em>saw farther than his camera</em>¿. </p><p>This book is dedicated to a photographer who does not deserve to be such a fragile whisper on the sorrow of the American Civil War.</p>
