About the Book

Photography was still in its infancy when the Civil War broke out in 1861, yet one young man, Mathew B. Brady, had the vision to create a detailed photographic record of the conflict, which nobody imagined would last for more than a few months. Brady and his associate photographers made literally thousands of images, for the most part now in the care of the Library of Congress.  This book is intended as a tribute to the talented, hardy, and ardent photographers, reproducing a selection of their works--blemishes and all--which are now recognized as the first in depth photo documentation of warfare.

He is a history lover who spent several years studying the pony express and the Oregon and Mormon trails while living in Nebraska. He is a writer/editor for a publication that caters to record collectors, has written books on subjects ranging from stamp collecting to colonial American history and lives in the wilds of central Wisconsin with his wife. Wayne Youngblood is a freelance author and editor with a broad variety of interests. He has written books on a range of subjects from colonial history and American Indians to stamps and stamp collecting. In addition, he has authored thousands of columns and features covering historical and collectible subjects. His specific awareness of Mathew Brady's work came from a longtime interest in early photography, the American Civil War, and US postage stamp design, for which numerous attributed and unattributed Brady photos have been used as sources.Ray Bonds has been a defense journalist, editor, and publisher during a career spanning over thirty five years, covering periods and activities as wide ranging as the American Civil War, anti-ballistic missile systems, stealth warfare, and modern military intelligence gathering.
