"Until the handkerchief of history covers us with its Times New Roman black and white post script..."

This blog is a collection of images and clips regarding history, especially in regards to 19th century American history and the Civil War. They are from a variety of collections, public, academic and private. There's the occasional emphasis on Ulysses S Grant, as well. In addition, all things antiquated, macabre, and grotesque.
