Confederate Prisoners at Gettysburg in 360° | Civil War Then & Now

Publicado 2024-07-09
Enjoy this 360° version of the video where you can click and drag the screen in all directions.

In mid-July of 1863, Mathew Brady took one of the most famous photos of the Civil War, as three Confederate prisoners from the Battle of Gettysburg stood on Seminary Ridge. This is one of the few photographs that exists of Confederate soldiers in the field. Garry Adelman of the American Battlefield Trust "steps in" to this historic shot.

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

    There's also a photograph of Lee's Army, marching through Frederick, MD. The Confederates were photographed from a 2nd Story Building, in July, 1864, fully armed and ready for battle. Its timeframe was for a long time misidentified as September, 1862, before the Battle of Antietam; more recently, it's been identified as Early's Army of the Shenandoah, some days prior to the Battle of Fort Stevens, in July, 1864. Careful work has acquired information about Lee's men, from details in the photograph. Its location, as well as its timeframe has been established. The photo was taken at Patrick Street, near Market Street, in the town of Frederick.

    Some have speculated that the copse of trees can be seen in the background of the photo.
  • Would you all be able to do a video on some of the other towns involved in the Gettysburg campaign like Waynesboro (from what I found Lee might have stopped there on his way south and it looks like Union Calvary went through there as well? Was there a skirmish?), TanyTown Maryland, Hagerstown Maryland, and Funkstown if you haven’t already?

    These guys were probably DESERTERS captured 2weeks after the Battle & posed! They don't look emaciated enough! There is an excellent Only known Photo of Reb soldiers, fully armed, no two dressed alike, Dirty & in a marching column but at rest. Photographed on there way to the Battle of Antietam,Maryland. Taken from a 2nd floor "DRY GOODS" store & a few of those Rebs knew they were being photographed & looked right up into the Camera. They seemed to have a Sargeant standing next to them, dressed like a "Mountain Man" with a feather in his hunting hat. Quite a picture for all time & errie!
