<p class="MsoNormal">I'm no expert on photography but was it really common prior to the Civil War? I also wonder if contemporaneous illustrations aren't considered as valid as photographs? Again, no expertise claimed, and of course I realize an illustrator
could just as easily embellish or alter as much as we can with photoshop today. Still, if that's the only visual record we have, should it be disregarded? Is it that unreliable?<br>
