Civilian Photographer John Bernaski
Honoring
the memory of Photographer Andrew David Lytle.
Photographer Andrew David Lytle - folks call me "A.
D.", was born on 4 April,1834 in Deerfield,
Warren Co., Ohio.
I married Mary Ann Lundy. At the time I was finishing my apprenticeship under
the famous daguerreotypist Wm. S. Porter. For the next several
years I traveled through the South, sometimes accompanied by my family. It was
in Baton Rouge
that my 2 yr old son, A.D. Jr., took sick and died. Mary and I couldn't bear
the thought of leaving him and so we settled there. Business was good, it was
an exciting time - talk of secesh, conventions and
all manner of militias forming. The War came and I managed to smuggle
photographic supplies through Union lines disguised as medical supplies. I took
photographs of Union positions from church steeples and turned them over to the
Rebs.
