HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR PHOTOS
A majority of the Civil War photos come from the original glass plate negatives in the holdings at the Library of Congress. The plates depict the activities both during and immediately following the War (1861-1865). The process of taking photographs during the War was complex and time-consuming. Photographers mixed their own chemicals and prepared their own wet plate glass negatives. The negatives had to be prepared, exposed, and developed within minutes, before the emulsion dried. This was a difficult process to master in a studio setting and even more difficult to work outdoors. Photographers transported their supplies in a wagon, improvised a darkroom, and learned to use their chemicals in both the blistering heat and bitter cold. In the 1880s dry plate negatives were introduced. These glass negatives were commercially available and did not need to be developed immediately after the exposure.

The Historic Henry Rifle: Oliver Winchester's Famous Civil War RepeaterIt was perhaps the most important firearm of its era. Tested and proved in the fiery crucible of the Civil War, the Henry Rifle became the forerunner of the famous line of Winchester Repeating Rifles that "Won the West." To the amazed muzzleloader-armed Confederates who had to face this deadly "sixteen shooter," it was "that damned Yankee rifle that was loaded on Sunday and fired all week." Here is the fascinating story of this rifle and its battle history, all illustrated with wonderful photographs, including a large color section.

M1860 Civil War Army Revolver with Black / Antique Brass Finish - Replica of Classic Cap and Ball Pistol Used by Both Union / USA and Confederate / CSA ForcesThis piece is a full-size non-firing reproduction of the cap-and-ball pistol used by both Union and Confederate forces in the Civil War. The grips are made of real wood. The rest of the piece is made of metal. With this type of pistol, powder charges and bullets were loaded into each chamber on the barrel-side of the cylinder. (The loading lever on this replica is movable to simulate this process.) Explosive caps were placed on the hammer side of the cylinders. When the hammer struck a cap, the cap ignited the powder in the chamber, causing an explosion that propelled the bullet out of the barrel. This piece features a working action. When you cock the hammer, the cylinder turns. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer is released. Overall Length: 13.5 inches. This replica would be great for costume or nonfiring re-enactment use. It would also make a great film or theater prop. (The chances are good that you have already seen this item used in movies.) Or it could simply be a nice display or conversation piece.
