Re: Images.

Most of those images came from the American Memories LOC site. Too bad he didn't credit where they came from.

Re: Images.

If you click on a photo, he does credit them. At least to the LOC. Most, if not all of the ones that I viewed were credited to the LOC by permission.

I found the group photo of the QM General's Staff of interest. With all the debate about 1860's hair styles, I think this is a good photo to study. With a majority of the men with hats in hands you can do a pretty good comparison. Correct me if this is a wrong assumption, but wouldn't these men have more access to a barber, and therefore a more stylish "do" ? At a glance, I found that longish hair(over the ears) was slightly more common that shorter styles. And the guy near the middle middle seems to have a growing buzz cut. But there seems to be a fair bit of variety amongst these "city slicker" types.

Re: Images.

When looking at the photograph on there of Lincolns gettysburg adress, youll notice that two of the front stacks of muskets have about 15 muskets on one stack. I cant figure out why they would do that.
