Civil War Faces

I thought this collection it's worth sharing, besides the whole purpose of the project the pictures are absolutely amazing !

"In remembrance of the Confederate and Union soldiers who served in the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Liljenquist Family recently donated their rare collection of almost 700 ambrotype and tintype photographs to the Library of Congress."

Sisters Lucretia Electa and Louisa Ellen Crossett from the "Civil War Faces" Hall, Alfred,,
