Among the first major conflicts to be extensively documented in photographs, the American Civil War was fought by a fascinating array of larger-than-life figures, many of whom are depicted in this set of 30 postcards. Culled from the collection of the Library of Congress, here are Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Nathan Bedford Forrest, plus images of Mosby's Raiders, the crew of the Monitor, the Green Mountain Boys, Matthew Brady's photography crew, the guns of Vicksburg, and Ford's Theater.
