Photography: H.H. Bennett

Born in Farnham, Canada in 1843, Henry Hamilton Bennett moved to Kilbourn City, Wisconsin (later renamed Wisconsin Dells) at the age of 14. After nearly dying at the siege of Vicksburg, Bennett returned home to begin a long and productive career in photography. The Wisconsin State Historical Society has created an online archive of 650 of his stereographic pictures, divided into such topics as Devils Lake, bridges, Milwaukee, steamboats, and rock formations in Wisconsin Dells. <http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/libraryarchives/hhbennett/index.asp>
