Civil War Photos• The American Civil War (1861-1865) was the first war to be
photographed intensively. • For the first time America saw vivid photos of injured and dying
soldiers, friends, neighbors and family.• The images portrayed the war in a way newspapers couldn’t put into
words and left them wondering what were they fighting for?• Daily photographs showed towns being pillaged, men executed,
bloody trenches of dead brothers and pictures of the worst of humanity. But these same photographs also showed men of resilence, character and leadership. Many people for the first time saw Robert E. Lee. Many more got their first glimpse of General Grant. Lincoln. Jackson. They all showed one common theme: these soldiers out there were their brothers, fathers and uncles.
• Thanks to a group of dedicated and unselfish pioneers in this new era of photography, men like George Barnard and Mathew Brady were able to capture a part of the American Civil War that you will never forget. We welcome you to view their images.
