Great episode! Coincidently, the CdV of President Lincoln and son, Tad, "reading" is actually them looking not at a book but a CdV album

[@Beaguins]

One of your most interesting episodes to date. Thanks!

Very interesting and informative video. It's amazing how photography was discovered and then improved back then. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.

This is a fantastic video that has been much-needed online. This is extremely useful for the classroom and helps broaden knowledge on the American Civil War. Well done, gents! Keep up the great work!

Great episode! Could you guys do a video about cravats? And how to tie them in a period correct way?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Thanks for the compliment, and the idea! We will put it on the list!

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

I know the feeling! I hope to get my next one done at their historic site! Will

What process would have been most popular in America? Why type of pic might the solider carry, a tintype or a wet plate? Or mixture of both.

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

CDVs were very common at that time as Dave mentions. I would say a soldier would carry a tintype or CDV for cost and durability. Jeremy

@@CivilWarDigitalDigest Thanks. I have seen pics of families in antique stores and have thought about buying one as my "family" with my impression.
