To all who enjoy seeing the life and times in the camps, roads, battlefields, recorded by talented artists of the 19th Century newspaper Frank Leslie's. I have been given a link to their new history website by Boston College on "The Becker Collection- Drawings of the American Civil War Era". Some sketches I have never seen till now.
Heres the link, enjoy:

If anyone has an interest in the 1861 Missouri campaign (Gen. Lyon, Wilson's Creek) the Fort Henry-Donelson, and Shiloh campaigns, the artist Henri Lovie was there, and left a great visual record. The New York Public library has most of the ones that have been published, but this site has a collection that I have never seen. A great treat!
