Frenchman First To Use Camera By Niepce In History
In Huntington, West Virginia, a regional abolition group named Appalachian Coalition formed to combat surface mining. James Branscome was elected coordinator, with members including Save Our Kentucky Inc., Stop Ohio Strip Mining, WV Citizens Against Strip Mining, and Wise County Virginia Environmental Council. The article notes Niepce as the first to capture a lasting photograph, describing early camera setups and varnish-on-silver plates, and mentions a Beneath the surface, curious snippets about Mexico and a request for Uncle Ray’s leaflet.
