This remarkable photo of General Grant and his staff was taken by Timothy O'Sullivan at Massaponax Church, Virginia on May 21, 1864. This was a time of pause during the war when many of the high-ranking officers came together to discuss strategy.
We love photos of Lincoln visiting various camps. Here we see the super-tall President standing with General McClellan and his staff on the Antietam battlefield in October, 1862. McClellan wouldn't last very long, however - Lincoln dismissed him a few months later.
