well, at least there weren't any soldiers posing over the dead bodies...

And did you notice how clean the capstan was and the cannon next to that kid?

Honestly a tragety that didn't have to happen?,,, or did it? you decide.

Most of those photos are pretty common in Civil War books. Still an interesting post. Thanks.

Again, Fuck the war

The second picture is actually a photograph of the first woman ever hung in the U.S.
She was found guilty of conspiring against the killing of President Abraham Lincoln. She was in cahoots with John Wilkes Booth. Just a bit of information for my first post on the COW. Cool thread.

Nice shots... also for budding history buffs, most photographers at the time would drag bodies around and pose them.

That era sucks..

Interesting.

neato lots of dead bodies
