softfilter Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 PumpkinHead are you familiar with William Frassanito? He did some fascinating books on battlefield photography of Antietam &Gettysburg pinpointing exact locations of were Gardner , James Gibson others took the pictures and how some were morbidly staged like the (in) famous Devils Den Confederate sharp shooter. Your photographs compared with Gardner's eerily you can almost still see the bodies ,landscape has changed little since 1862. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
