Thanks for the pictures! That war should not have lasted so long.

Saw Matthew Brady's name on a lot of the photos, he was noted for his photos of the war.

Thanks for the information. Brady's biography on wiki was quite interesting. I didn't realize he fielded crews to the battlefields while he oversaw operations from DC. I wondered how he could have captured so many different scenes.

I've read where Brady (or his minions) would rearrange bodies, etc before they took their snaps.

That had to be disgusting. Look at them, all bloated up with pieces missing, brains hanging out and what-not. Gross.
