content: William H. Illingworth (1844–1893) moved with his family from England to St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1850.  When he was about twenty years old, he began studying wet plate photography in Chicago. He joined Captain James L. Fisk's fourth expedition to the Montana Territory (1866) and the following year he opened a gallery and studio in St. Paul with fellow expedition member George Bill.  He also formed a partnership with William McLeish (Illingworth & McLeish).  As a photographer for Custer's 1874 military expedition, Illingworth produced approximately seventy images of both the landscape and members of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment.
