Well said friend. Such an eloquent way of stating what hell those men went through and were able to do.
I get chills thinking about what the human spirit is capable of during times of war and disaster. Especially in those days of old.

George McClellan
One of the most useless generals in American history. Motherfricker got a huge army together and then did absolutely nothing with it.
You mean, marching an army on Americans that want to be independent? How dare he? He didn't want to attack the South. Lincoln chose the bloody path. Thanks to Lincoln forcing the war, hundreds of thousands died on both sides.

He also invented a pretty good saddle.

I’ve read previously that the pic of the dead sharpshooter was staged.
Awesome pics regardless

Very much so. The photographer dragged the corpse to that very spot to do the photograph.

vast majority of photos in those days were.
in early days of photography it was viewed like painting. you set everything up like you want it to look, rather than snapping the pic of the untouched scene.

I can believe this. Excuse any ignorance but would you think you’ll see blood and guts all over the ground

I wonder if the Confederates & Unions got their uniforms from the same vendor. Smart manufacturer. They look very similar.
