Original Civil War photographs
Adjusting the ropes for hanging the Lincoln assassination conspirators at the Washington Arsenal. In this photo I cropped in tight so you can actually see the faces of the conspirators as the ropes are being place around their necks, just moments before their execution.
An explosion inside of Fort Sumter. It is interesting to note that this was the first time in history that an explosion was captured by a camera.
interesting site.
