If the Agnes Fry had the paddle wheels salvaged then the wreck in the sonar image at RT link is not it.

Is that Dickie Betts on the far left?

Speaking of defiant...he was known to throw punches

I love that photograph

At least they aren’t contorted dead on some sunken road by a stone fence

Brady loved to photograph my kinsmen dead

awesome I"ve got 2ź 1863 issued Colt Navys( .36), one with 5 notches carved in the butt. I can only imagine... All Colt stamps marks are mil stamps and check out with Colt archives . But whether it was CSA or not I'll never know . I can only imagine. if only old guns could talk....

Yes, I know it is a pose.

Did you ever see Ken Burn's series on the Civil War? Historian and author Shelby Foote said that was a photo he was very fond of. The Confederates posed for that photo when captured, and in it they demonstrated their defiance and pride.

Unlike the durn rein actors they use for movies today. Always bugs me.

BTW my great great uncle was the only KIA from his Pennsylvania unit at Antietam. Luck is a trait I apparently inherited.

Before the “watch the birdie” technique started, it was in vogue for everyone to stare off in random directions, as if they were caught unawares. The fact that these were often groups of people (family reunions, for example) meant that it looks pretty retarded today.

Because they were fighting for their “rats”!

AND “Manspreading too!

VERY politically Incorrect.
