First sentence: "THE MEMORIES of our great war come down to us and will pass on to future generations with more accuracy and more truth-telling illustration than that of any previous struggle," Capt. A. J. Russell declared in 1882, and for that "the world is indebted to the photographic art and a few enterprising and earnest men."
