    This man was born in Scotland and moved to the United States as an adult. Much of his work is attributed to a more famous counterpart, but it is known he was the last one to photograph a certain president. Who is he, who was his counterpart, and who was the president?

    		Yes! His split from Matthew Brady was due to Brady's taking credit for all his employee's work. He also took photos of the conspirators in Lincoln's assassination.
