During the Civil War he photographed officers. He photographed the overcrowded steamship ''Sultana'' before it exploded and sank with about 1,167 killed in the disaster. He photographed members of the 1866-67 Arkansas Senate.
His studio produced stereographic series.
He wrote a monograph about the history of photography and stated, "Science invented a photographer of its own who dips his pencil in the sunbeam, and traces with unerring truth the living shadows of the passing time.” After moving to Chicago, Illinois he wrote about Arkansas. He returned to Arkansas towards the end of his life.
