Pre-ACW photos of ACW participants

Hi All,

I'm writing up a lesson plan on the Mexican War and wish to use period photos to show how much difference 10 years can make.

Does anyone know of any sites where I might find photos such as these. I am looking for General Longstreet from his days with the 8th infantry in particular.


Thanks in advance,

You'll probably have to settle for Winfield Scott.

By the Civil War he had seriously aged, but that is life!

Everyone has seen the pre-war picture of Lee, and I've seen pre-war pictures of Stuart and Custer. They were probably from the LoC.
