Whether you like history or not... These are pretty amazing considering they were taken up to 145 years ago: A compendium of photos from the Civil War era. Truly fortunate that so many of these have survived. Probably a million wet plate photos were made during the civil war on glass plate. Popular during the war, they lost their appeal afterwards and so many were sold for the glass.

Amazing photos. Thanks for posting.

Remarkable collection of photos.
I had a great grandfather who was incarcerated by the South during the war for being a conscientious objector, Reverend George Sims. While there he made little oak boxes with sliding lids from the legs of chairs. I guess they let him have a knife for whittling.
The box I have is very cool.
