Browse Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War, Volume 1 and 2, published in 1866, for more sepia-toned glimpses into the heart of the conflict. Witness the storming of Fort Donelson, published by Currier & Ives in 1862, in vibrant color lithography. The draft in Berks County on August 26, 1863, is depicted in a stark lithograph, while the albumen print "Effect of explosion of shell, near Fredericksburg, Va." shows the harsh realities of war. Recruiting efforts for the New York 156th Infantry are illustrated in the lithograph "Attention. Company." from 1862. Finally, experience the intensity of the Union bayonet charge in this Harper's Weekly Vol. 1862 image. Through these images, we bear witness to the sacrifices and triumphs of the Union forces in their fight for freedom and unity.
