Join historian Garry Adelman of the American Battlefield Trust for a lively photography presentation covering all manner of Civil War events, people and places. The Civil War was the first war to be extensively photographed and, for the first time in history, the public was exposed to real-life images of the gruesome toll of battle.

Through then-and-now photographs and other techniques, Mr. Adelman will tell the story of the Civil War and its aftermath through the intensive and revolutionary wet-plate photography process and the truly unique individuals involved in the birth of photojournalism and more.
