DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Photographic History of the Civil War, Vol. 1 of 10: The Opening Battles Readers as well as publishers are also indebted to the collectors, historical societies, and others who have furnished hundreds Of long-treasured photographs, unwilling that. The history should appear without presenting many important scenes Of which no actual illustrations had ever before been available to the public. Hence the Civil War - time photographs in the present. Work are not only several times as numerous as those in any previous publication, but also include many hundreds of scenes that will come as a reve lation even to historians and special scholars - photographs taken within the lines Of the Confederate armies and of the hosts in the hiississippi Valley, whose fighting was no less momentous than the Eastern battles, but in the nature Of things could not be as quickly or as fully heralded. With these additions to the brady-gardner collection - the loss and rediscoverv of which Mr. Henry Wysham Lanier's introductory narrates - it is now possible for the first time to present comprehensively the men and scenes and types Of the American epic, in photographs.
