Digital BW, The Print

Possibly a bit off subject 

While I have seen these ocasionally my wife brought this to my attention and 
since they are B&W images I thought to pass this along I have no details on the 
format but expect the images will not enlarge well. Still the price less than 
$12 might be worth seeing these in the context of a written historical 
perspective. I searched google and found many low resolution images possibly 
there are better scans available that I have not found most had little 
information about the image.

For many years one of America's most memorable publishing events has remained a 
hallmark in the annals of photographic history. This set of books is most 
notable for its superb photographs by the famous Matthew B. Brady and Alexander 
Gardner. Sponsored proudly by the Civil War Semi-Centennial Society, the goal 
was to make available photographic coverage of Civil War scenes and figures 
never disclosed before to broad public view. 

The accompanying text is Elson's New History by Henry W. Elson, professor of 
history at Ohio State University. The quality of writing and concise, unbiased 
coverage of the Civil War provides a most suitable supplement to the 
photographs. Even today it gives readers generations away from the war a highly 
readable, factual and balanced account of what happened. 

Vol. One, Parts 1-8 report on the beginning of the conflict at Fort Sumter, the 
leaders of both sides, Bull Run, the Fall of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, 
Shiloh - the First Grand Battle, The Monitor, "Stonewall" Jackson in the 
Shenandoah, Stuart's Raid, Antietam, Murfreesboro, Fredericksburg, 
Chancellorsville, and other important episodes. 

Vol. Two, Parts 9-16 include Gettysburg, Fort Sumter, the Capture of Charleston, 
Chickamauga and Chattanooga, Battles on Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, 
the Struggle in the Wilderness, the Red River Expedition of May 1864, the Battle 
of Mobile Bay, Spotsylvania and the "Bloody Angle," The Attack and Repulse at 
Cold Harbor, the March to Atlanta, the Last Conflicts in the Shenandoah, the 
Battle of Cedar Creek, Petersburg, Sherman's Final Campaigns, the March to the 
Sea, Fort Fisher Captured, the Last of the Blockade Runners, the Last Invasion 
of Tennessee, Appomattox and Lee's Surrender.
