Came across this (actually found it Twitter). Thought it might be of interest to Civil War buffs.

Civil War Part 3: The Stereographs

If you go to the bottom of the article, you'll see links to Parts 1 and 2, Atlantic's remembrance of the Civil War. There is also a special magazine you can buy that has articles from the Atlantic during the Civil War.

If you want to see Atlantic on line from the 1860s, look at Cornell University's the Making of America, http://digital.library.cornell.edu/m/moa/

The Making of America is an excellent resource. I have been using it to read the biography of Abraham Lincoln that first appeared in Century magazine in 1886 by Lincoln's secretaries, John Nicolay and John Hay.

Great pictures, I did not know the story of John L. Burns until reading the caption in the photograph. Amazing.

 

[Combat]

Great pictures, I did not know the story of John L. Burns until reading the caption in the photograph. Amazing.

There is a statue of him on the Gettysburg battlefield. It's near the McPherson farm where the first day of the battle took place. He's buried in the Gettysburg Evergreen Cemetery. One of two gravesites there with its own flag pole (I believe). The other is the grave of Jennie Wade the only citizen killed during the battle.
