Description
The age of photography coincided with the eruption of the Civil War. As a result, more than 2,000 photographers covered the conflict, for the first time capturing every aspect of war. Here are the finest of these images, with illuminating text to accompany them. Many of these evocative photos are rare, and portray the battles, their tragic aftermath, and the people caught in the devastation.
