My sister just sent me a link to some really great pictures of the civil war. Warning!!! Some are graphic. The idea is to show the photography of the period.

Please post any that you have that relate. I had a friend who made his life the study of the civil war, of course he was a retired Marine.

That was cool, I'm amazed at the quality, detail and sharpness they were able to get in some of those pictures.

I worked for 5 years in a funeral home, it takes a lot to offend me. The stories I could tell of the crazy things I have seen.

Thanks for the link. Those photographers who did the work during the Civil war were very devoted craftsmen. Nothing was easy for them. They lugged heavy equipment into the field and worked sometimes in 'portable' dark rooms (wagons that were closed up with no ventilation and working with noxious chemicals in the hot weather or freezing cold). Makes you wonder how many of us today would stick with it if we had to work with that equipment and under those conditions.
