  • stacking arms photo

    I am looking for a original photo that I think is taken at Richmond or Petersburg of a rifle stack and it shows a couple stack behind the lines where the file closers stacked theirs as well? I can't seem to find it in any of my stuff at home?

    Re: stacking arms photo

    Hallo!

    Alas, a few years ago a virus got thorugh my fancy-schmancy virus protection service and attacked and killed about 3,000 of my images.

    I think I know the one you are thinking of, but mine now only opens about 1/4 from the top.
    For some reaosn, the virus did not attack some of the "blow up's" so since I had them up, I will post them here and wait for another lad to put up the entire image.
