Civil War Photographs

The American Civil War happened just as cameras were becoming common. As a result, it is the first war to be recorded in photographs. This set of over 200 black and white photographs shows the officers on each side, significant places and the more mundane aspects. It also documents the horrors of the first war fought with modern weapons but old fashioned tactics. Easily browse the posters with a simple and intuitive interface or just sit back and watch the slideshow.
