HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR PHOTOS

A majority of the Civil War photos come from the original glass plate negatives in the holdings at the Library of Congress. The plates depict the activities both during and immediately following the War (1861-1865). The process of taking photographs during the War was complex and time-consuming. Photographers mixed their own chemicals and prepared their own wet plate glass negatives. The negatives had to be prepared, exposed, and developed within minutes, before the emulsion dried. This was a difficult process to master in a studio setting and even more difficult to work outdoors. Photographers transported their supplies in a wagon, improvised a darkroom, and learned to use their chemicals in both the blistering heat and bitter cold. In the 1880s dry plate negatives were introduced. These glass negatives were commercially available and did not need to be developed immediately after the exposure.

Iced Earth founder/composer/guitarist Jon Schaffer isn't one of those metal musicians who only want to entertain their fans with their music. On the contrary, Schaffer uses his compositions to acquaint his fans with historic events and to kindle their interest in subjects that they probably wouldn't have access to otherwise. He has proved to be an artist who is fascinated by history and looks beyond the boundaries of his genre, basing his songs on educational objectives. Iced Earth's 2003 album, The Glorious Burden, was a milestone in terms of music and subject matter. Particularly the concert version of Gettysburg (1863) is a successful opener to a historic chapter that is directly linked to the contemporary US. The brand-new same-named double DVD is about to round off Schaffer's ambitious project.

With beautifully shot footage of reenactors, Civil War Combat illustrates aspects of four particular Civil War battles that are rightfully considered legendary. Filmed on location, the reenactors depict the violent mayhem of the hornet's nest at Shiloh, the valiant charge on the sunken road at Antietam, the carnage in the wheat field at Gettysburg, and the brutal fighting at Cold Harbor. Produced by the History Channel, the episodes all benefit from insightful appearances by historians as well as rangers from the National Park Service. The format of putting the focus on specific points of action in larger battles allows for narratives about specific soldiers and commanders, in both the Union and Confederate ranks, to develop. For instance, the segment on Antietam profiles commanders and individual soldiers from the Union's Irish Brigade and the Alabama regiment they charged during some of the most violent action of the entire war. The Civil War reenactors provide a credible look at how the war must have appeared to participants (though purists will note that some of the reenactors appear too clean and too well fed to have been marching behind Robert E. Lee). The discussions of strategy and the importance of the events depicted, combined with the uniformly excellent cinematography, make this an entertaining and enlightening look at critical events of the Civil War. --Robert J. McNamara

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate?we can not consecrate?we can not hallow?this ground.

It's not really an essay, but a detailing of an activity. Nonetheless, I was wondering if someone could offer last min grading. ____________ Another of My Greatest Loves Another of my true pleasures is military science. From debates to essays to the history of Alexander and Caesar, I have acted out my love with great zeal. I remember spending holiday time locked into reading the Art of War with inexhaustible passion. There were other times in which I was captivated by the Caesarean civil war, the Russo-Gregorian conflict and the latest events of the American two front wars. Even through school I would spend lunch debating over alliance systems and recent globalization trends of China and Russia. One debate that stood out was over whether Rome or Mongolia would stand victorious in war. I took the position of an unusual underdog, debating that Rome could win even with the technological superiority and siege ability of the Mongolians, nevermind the disparity in ears and geography between them. I argued the bleak difference between war and battle and through war there was much more to winning then shock action and rearing the enemies? flank. The debate continued and even made its way in infamy to the entire history department. Eventually the debate called for a ceasefire, due to the inability to make sense of the preconditions. In addition, our friends just wanted us to shut up at lunch. So everyone eventually went back to conversing about The Jonas Brothers. Nonetheless, I know that if I am admitted to your university that such discussion will be welcomed as apart of the greater intellectual environment, and it is concepts such as this that I can enunciate with great conviction that I will be a magnificent asset to your university.
