About this Document
Mathew B Brady and many of the decade's best photographers created the photographs in this collection. There are detailed portraits of notable men of the era, as well as photos of soldiers, living and dead, battlefields, scarred landscapes, and cities burned and bombed by invading troops. They portray the horrors of war and images of life in camp. They represent photojournalism in its infancy and present us with real-life interpretations of our nation at war with itself.

The illustration does not appear to be one of the ship "Monitor" nor any of that class. Rather, it appears to be one of the "Milwaukee" class ironclads. It has two turrets while the "Monitor" class had one.
