Benjamin Baltzly

Benjamin Franklin Baltzly, photographer (born 5 April 1835 in Sugarcreek Township, OH; died 10 July 1883 in Cambridge, MA). Benjamin Baltzly was the Notman Studio photographer assigned to the 1871 Geological Survey of Canada’s expedition to the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia in preparation for the construction of the trans-Canada railway. Although his early life was marked by suspect behaviour, his engaging travel journal and letters to his wife reveal a deeply religious man with strong affection for his family. Despite formidable geographical and technical challenges, Baltzly produced a rich photographic archive of early British Columbia. (See also Photography in Canada.)

For over three decades (1751 to 1783), Benjamin Franklin argued that Canada (or Province of Quebec) should be joined to the British-American colonies.

Franklin failed both in 1776 and during peace negotiations in 1782 to make Canada part of the United States.
