    Photographic images of CS "combat" dead...

    Greetings,
    Is anyone aware of any other photographic images of Confederate dead other than General Turner Ashby, and those on the six battlefields of Battery Robinette, Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, the Alsop Farm, Marye's Heights and Fort Mahone? Is anyone aware of any id'd other than Ashby, Colonel Rogers and his Lieut. Colonel? Thanks.

        Tom- The only other pictures I can think of that you have not mentioned already are the highly published views of the dead soldiers being piled on the stretcher for reburial after the war. The photograph of half buried soldiers on the Cold Harbor battlefield and the distant view of several skulls in the brush on the Chancellorsville/Wilderness battlefields. Other than those random pictures I think you have everything covered. And it is also my understanding that those are all Federal causulties.

          Thanks. I had forgotten those but you are correct - they are from a Federal reburial...
