Photo essay of the early American west

I received this link from a Yahoo Group to a page of photos taken by Timothy O'Sullivan in the late 1800s. I thought this was the perfect place to post it where it would really be appreciated.

Absolutely wonderful presentation! I think Sullivan had Matthew Brady beat, hands down. His photos are far more "real".
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the replies, I hadn't heard of O'Sullivan until I was sent this link but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them and I'm happy to hear that you did too.

I recently returned to film, lately thinking about black and white. After seeing these riveting photos, welcome home TMAX!

Do you think it is clear which photographer (Brady or O'Sullivan) took particular pictures? I did a lot of research on Brady (used to dress up like him and show students the pics he took, especially of Lincoln) and was not sure.

That seems to have a few more pictures but it could just be my memory, some of the comments are a little weird.
