"My energies for near a lifetime have been used almost entirely to win such prominence as I could in outdoor photography."--H. H. Bennett

Henry Hamilton Bennett (1843-1908) became a celebrated photographer in the half-century following the American Civil War. Bennett is admired for his superb depictions of dramatic landscapes of the Dells of the Wisconsin River and also for his many technical innovations in photography, including a stop-action shutter and a revolving solar printing house that is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution. With his instantaneous shutter, he gained recognition for his striking images of moving subjects, such as lumber raftsmen shooting the river rapids and his son Ashley leaping in midair from a bluff to the craggy pillar of Stand Rock. Less well-known are Bennett's splendid urban photographs of nineteenth-century Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul.
This engaging biography of H. H. Bennett tells his life story, illustrated throughout with his remarkable photographs, some of them rarely viewed before. It draws on the photographer's own letters and journals, along with other family documents, to portray the sweep of his career and personal life. An important figure in the history of photography, he also contributed to the growth of American tourism: his nationally distributed stereoscopic views of Dells rock formations and his portraits of local Ho-Chunk Indians played a significant role in creating the Wisconsin Dells as the popular tourist destination it is today. Despite personal challenges--a crippling Civil War injury, the death of his first wife, and continual financial worries--Bennett produced an extensive portfolio that captures the midwestern culture of his time. He accepted commissions in the 1890s to document Chicago's modern skyscrapers, grand residences of Milwaukee's entrepreneurs and sailing ships in its harbor, enormous scenic panoramas along the routes of Wisconsin railroads, and sparkling ice palaces lit by fireworks at the St. Paul Winter Carnival.

Great oil
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
OEM for many European cars. Have utilized for years in my 2 Fiat Abarth's, great oil at a competitive price and if you change oil yourself you save quite a bit as compared to dealers or other shops. No breakdown even with the excessive heat the little 1.4L turbo puts out, great oil to rely on.

Meets Chrysler Mopar spec for Wrangler and Gladiator 3.0 diesel
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
Cheaper than Walmart and auto stores. Meets Chrysler spec and way cheaper than the Mopar oil the dealers want to sell for the 3.0 diesel in Jeeps. You’ll need 9 qts.

Great oil for 124 spider
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro 5W-40
I use Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 in my Fiat 124 Spider, and it’s been great so far. The engine runs smooth and quiet, and cold starts feel solid. No issues with oil consumption, and it holds up well between changes. The 6-pack of 1-quart bottles is convenient and makes it easy to measure out exactly what I need. Overall, it’s a quality synthetic oil at a good value. I’ll keep using it in my 124 Spider.
