Wow, awesome!

Here are links to the images on the LoC website, for those who like to get a closer view:

The last one (602) is my favorite - from the artillery pieces in the background, to the perfectly uniform companies of the VRC, other units all in greatcoats, and the crowd cheering with hats raised in the foreground. Also notice the black troops in the foreground of the first and second images (1430 & 601).
