WRG, I thought I would pass on info about a web site that I found of some interest. It is Craig's Daguerreian Registry. URL is www.daguerreotype.com. It lists nine Whitneys who were daguerreotype photographers around Civil War times. Short biographical sketches about some. Warning: the conclusion they came to about the death of the Whitney in my line (Joel Emmons Whitney) is incorrect. So, taken with a grain of salt, the info can still be interesting.
