Original Civil War Photographs

A friend sent me a link to these Civil War pictures. Some are familiar, and all are very clear and crisp.

The picture of the VA Cap building is awesome, one of the only a few buildings that werent burned back home when they left. It has had some additions since, like the wings.


Great link.

Md. Civil War battlefield sends NY soldier home
The Associated Press

SHARPSBURG, Md. -
The remains of a Civil War soldier are heading home to New York state nearly a year after a visitor found them on the Antietam National Battlefield in western Maryland.

Officials of the park near Sharpsburg planned to turn over to the New York Army National Guard on Tuesday morning a pine coffin containing about 400 bone fragments recovered last year.

Uniform buttons and belt buckle indicate the unidentified soldier was from New York. Experts estimate his age at 17 to 19.

An honor guard will escort the coffin on a 330-mile trip to Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuylerville, (SKY'-ler-vil), N.Y., for burial Thursday.

The soldier was among 23,000 who were killed, wounded or declared missing at Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862, the bloodiest day of the Civil War.
