Those were some great pictures. The quality is quite amazing given the state of technology at the time. Good 'Ol Pinkerton, high in the saddle, probably isn't too popular with our liberal friends here.

Pinkerton still ain't too popular in Missouri, at least with the crowd I run with.

Great pictures. I'm very familiar to the locales portrayed in most of these pictures. Such pictures put a different face on the beautiful and serene battlefields around here.

My great grandfather was a veteran and survivor of that war. He survived because he was in an engineering group from New York State. Don't know if it was the 50th New York engineers as pictured in frame 41 but I'm sure the work was the same. Much better than being cannon fodder.

For his part in protecting Lincolns life and establishing the Secret Service, he should be considered a hero. For certain other activities, not so much.
