Photography and the American Civil War

This title features both familiar and rarely seen images that include haunting battlefields strewn with bodies, studio portraits of armed Confederate and Union soldiers (sometimes in the same family) preparing to meet their destiny, rare multi-panel panoramas of Gettysburg and Richmond, languorous camp scenes showing exhausted troops in repose, diagnostic medical studies of wounded soldiers who survived the war's last bloody battles, and portraits of Abraham Lincoln and his assassin, John Wilkes Booth
