started biography of famous war photographer
'''Matthew Harrison Brady''' was a [[photographer]] and [[war correspondent]] during the [[American]] [[Civil War]]. He was not a particularly [[good]] photographer, but he became well-known because he was not afraid to follow the [[troops]] of the [[Union]] into battle in order to bring back photographs of their triumphs and their losses. Some of his most famous photographs were taken at the [[Battle of Antietam]] in [[Pennsylvania]].
Since Brady was a pioneer of the [[science]] of [[photography]], he was called upon to take [[portrait]]s some very famous and influential sitters, among them [[Abraham Lincoln]], [[Ulysses S. Grant]] (in the field), and [[Robert E. Lee]].
