Ben was another american born photographer who started life of as not photographer. He was in the civil war and after decided to take pictures of natives, in a nut shell. Anyway he took all these pics and went on to be the first person to photograph the hopi tribe, and as a result died from a snake bite. the bad part of that story is Ben knew he was going to die from a snakebite because he was told it was going to happen.
as far as his photos go, he was able to capture these native tribes in there homeland and bring these images to the rest of us, which would otherwise not know of there existents. good stuff.
