CIVIL WAR ACTUAL PHOTOS - CLEAR; HORRIFIC; SPECTACULAR

If you have a chance to actually see them, they are a wonder of the modern world. What would Matthew Brady, who took hours to set up for one picture, that practically took a scientist to develop-- what would he think of our ubiquitous telephone cameras and videos? Wow
