NOTES

Conceived to mark the fifty-year anniversary of the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1911 by The Review of Reviews Company, editor Francis Trevelyan Miller orchestrated an unprecedented effort to gather thousands of glass-plate negatives captured by field photographers like Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner. Across its ten massive blue cloth-bound volumes, the set transformed the public's memory of the conflict, coupling vivid prose from military figures and historians with raw, unglamorized imagery of camp life, ironclads, and shattered battlefields. It bridged the living memory of veterans with a modern visual record, creating an enduring archive that transformed how future generations would see and understand the nation's bloodiest struggle.
