I received an email with the link provided. Having geen to Gettysburg a few times, it was interesting to see these pictures and relate them to the bloodiest war of our time. A WARNING - some of the historical images are graphical images of bodies.

"Although some of these may be hard to view, if you're into American history - Civil War era, you should really enjoy these historic photos.
These are really interesting photos from the Civil War. It is truly fortunate that so many of these have survived. Probably a million wet plate photos were made during the civil war on glass plate. Popular during the war, they lost their appeal afterwards and so many were sold for the glass. Many were used in green houses. Over the years the sun caused the images to disappear.
These are pretty amazing considering they were taken up to 150
years ago: a compendium of photos from the Civil War era.

Note: I found maneuvering through the photos was easier to clink on a photo, and then use the "back" button (delete on MAC) to go back a page and click on the next photo.
