John Huddleston
I was expecting a “then and now” comparison of Civil War era battlefields to the same locations today. What I got was Civil War photographs paired with bad modern photos which may or may not have been taken in the same general vicinity. Some of the period photos are familiar and, to Huddleston’s credit, some are not, but the modern photos are not worth the paper they’re printed on. I mean really, a picture of a featureless blue sky (we’re told) coupled with some purple prose about this being what the wounded saw as they lay dying?
Avoid this book. Instead pick up any one of William Frassanito’s Civil War books.
