Biographical/Historical:     Stanley J. Morrow (1843-1921) was born in Wisconsin and first learned photography as a young member of the Seventh Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War. While Morrow was stationed at Camp Lookout, Maryland, famed Civil War photographer Mathew Brady visited the site and Morrow became interested in Brady's work. Working as a volunteer assistant to Brady, Morrow learned photography using the wet plate process. After the war, Morrow returned to Wisconsin, married Ida A. Ketchum, and moved to Yankton in the Dakota Territory. He opened the first "photograph gallery" in that area and traveled throughout the Dakota Territory and Upper Missouri taking photographs while his wife ran the gallery at home. In 1882, Morrow moved to Orlando, Florida, for his wife's health. There Morrow photographed the central Florida area for the South Florida Railroad to attract tourists and businesses to use the railroad.
