The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-30

This great work has been completed after months of labor and an expense of thousands of dollars in its prepara- ton, and the result is a magnificent book of great historic interest to all Americans
 Think of it! Copies of the real photographs taken on the spot" by Mathew B. Brady and his men during the whole four years of the war. It was a feat without a parallel. Gener- al Grant saw many of the photographs taken, and in a. letter in 1866 said: The collection is valuable for the present generation. but how much more val uab1e for future generationsP' General Grant joined Generals Butler and Gar field in stating that these negatives were worth $150, 00O They are not merely imaginary sketches of what an artist might think, but real speaking likenesses of the great men who made history and the historical scenes, and thrilling events of the time
 The Government paid $27,s $40 for these negatives, and then they went into the archives of the War Department; but the people of the country never saw them. They were not serving their great educational purpose. The War Department granted permission to re- produce the photographs in this pop ular form, desiring to place them with in the reach of all the people
