Captured on Film

The Civil War is fought with a determination and ferocity that has seldom been equaled.

But not every day is spent in battle. These photographs tell the story from a different angle.


	Civil War in Camp When studying the Civil War, we often focus on great battles and dramatic events. Soldiers, however, also have plenty of time to think about other things. There are occasional, truly terrifying moments, but most days are spent training, or just slogging from town to town, and battle to battle. Amusements to break the monotony are welcome.
