Summary: I could feel the mist in the air
Review: Congratulations to the author, Foster Eubank! I bought this book thinking it would dissapoint me like so many others,but what a surprise! It became my guide and best friend as I visited the Civil War sites. I suggest you have this book sitting next to you in the car when exploring the battlefields. It helps you find the exact locations where the Civil War photos were taken. It won't let you down.

Summary: The past and the present side by side
Review: Foster Eubanks presents in his book 'Following Civil War Photographers' a sort of ethereal photographic exercise, showing many original photographs from the civil war period...as if you had a window into the past when compared to the very real color images of today. Being familiar with 19th century photography as a period collodion artist myself, (as Brady, Sullivan, and Gardner where) I enjoyed the since of yesterday merging with today. I recommend this book to anyone interested in American history and enjoys the idea of seeing the past and the present side by side.
