Synopsis:

Mathew Brady and his famous photographers, including Alexander Gardner, Timothy O'Sullivan, and James Gibson, created an indelible record of bravery, suffering and sacrifice during the American Civil War. With more than 400 photographs, ranging from seminal Civil War images to never-before published pictures, In the Wake of Battle: The Civil War Images of Mathew Brady is one of the most comprehensive collections of Civil War photography ever published. Arranged by battle site and event, each of which is introduced by a brief explanatory essay, the volume offers carefully researched archival information about the images and their photographers. In addition, lists of Library of Congress and National Archives order numbers make this volume a most valuable and unique resource.
