Default 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,

Default Winfield

You'll probably have to settle for Winfield Scott.

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

Default Sites..

DOWNLOADABLE IMAGES of the MEXICAN WAR from the LIBRARY of CONGRESS (LOC). The LOC has tons of free, downloadable jpgs and archival-quality tiffs of Mexican War images. Use the link below to go to the LOC's search page. Type in "Mexican War" and then hit the SEARCH button. You will be amazed at how many files are available.
The larger size files make attractive frameable prints!
Search the Library of Congress for downloadable Mexican War images.
DOWNLOADABLE IMAGES of the MEXICAN WAR from WIKIPEDIA COMMONS (LOC). Wikipedia Commons has tons of free, downloadable jpgs of Mexican War images. Use the link below to access the list.

I hope this will help you in your search for pictures....

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.
