http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/02/AR2010100201985.html?wprss=rss_metro/va This is a fascinating story. This man has collected over 700 portrait photos of US & Confederate soldiers, as well as civilians. An amazing array of people from that period. The newspaper article has some of the photos in a gallery you can view. If you want to see MORE photos, try the Library of Congress website link here. It is a vast array. You can click on one photo to enlarge it. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=%22AMB%2FTIN%22+Liljenquist&st=grid I found myself looking at some of these innocent faces and wondering how many of them survived the terrible carnage............
