I noticed with excitement that your Civil War cartes de visite are available to be used with the proper citation added. Thank you very much for making these images available to researchers and students of the Civil War. I’ll be bookmarking this site as a potential place to find images of Civil War generals who participated in the Siege of Petersburg.
