Photo by Brady: A Picture of the Civil War

(3) 4-6 Armstrong first provides a factual overview of the war and then focuses on showing how photographs, Mathew Brady's prints in particular, allowed noncombatants to see how the war looked on battlefields. The principals have photographic space here, but so do the foot soldiers, the dead and wounded, barren farmlands, and civilians. The dual perspective, while rich in context, results in some omissions. Bib., ind.
