Gold Rush more thoroughly represented than in the history of

Seth
Boyden's Daguerreian Camera: A History & Analysis of One of
America's First Photographic Instruments. My research into
Boyden’s life and work brought to light a persistent and puzzling
assertion that Seth Boyden “produced the first daguerreotype in this
country.” This paper is a thorough and scholarly examination of the
subject, based on my 1991 research for the New Jersey Historical
Commission.
Most titles are available in the used book department at amazon.com or directly from the author.
