  • Enjoy this 360° version of the video where you can click and drag the screen in all directions.
    In mid-July of 1863, Mathew Brady took one of the most famous photos of the Civil War, as three Confederate prisoners from the Battle of Gettysburg stood on Seminary Ridge. This is one of the few photographs that exists of Confederate soldiers in the field. Garry Adelman of the American Battlefield Trust "steps in" to this historic shot.

    For the best 360° experience, make sure your video quality is set to 4k (2160p). Enjoy!

      @@carolnoren4603 i assume that's what the apps are for, and it would work kind of like Pokemon GO. Instead of an animated monster set at a GPS Location, you would have the still image mapped at the location, and you'd be able to see the image through your cellphone camera as if you were Matthew Brady taking the photograph yourself.

    Would you all be able to do a video on some of the other towns involved in the Gettysburg campaign like Waynesboro (from what I found Lee might have stopped there on his way south and it looks like Union Calvary went through there as well? Was there a skirmish?), TanyTown Maryland, Hagerstown Maryland, and Funkstown if you haven’t already?

      Despite being from the area im just getting into learning about the Gettysburg campaign and I only know the battle of Gettysburg itself from the movie and the town of waynesboro and the other towns around Gettysburg peaked my curiosity of their involvement.

    There's also a photograph of Lee's Army, marching through Frederick, MD. The Confederates were photographed from a 2nd Story Building, in July, 1864, fully armed and ready for battle.
    Its timeframe was for a long time misidentified as September, 1862, before the Battle of Antietam; more recently, it's been identified as Early's Army of the Shenandoah, some days prior to the Battle of Fort Stevens, in July, 1864.
    Careful work has acquired information about Lee's men, from details in the photograph. Its location, as well as its timeframe has been established. The photo was taken at Patrick Street, near Market Street, in the town of Frederick.

    These guys were probably DESERTERS captured 2weeks after the Battle & posed! They don't look
    emaciated enough!
    There is an excellent Only known Photo of
    Reb soldiers, fully armed, no two dressed alike,
    Dirty & in
    a marching column but at rest. Photographed on there way to the Battle of Antietam,Maryland.
    Taken from a 2nd floor "DRY GOODS" store & a few of those Rebs knew they were being photographed & looked right up into the Camera.
    They seemed to have a Sargeant standing next to them, dressed like a "Mountain Man" with a feather in his hunting hat.
    Quite a picture for all time & errie!

      You might have accidentally spun the 360 view frame the wrong way. If you refresh the page and disable 360 there is preplanned 3d route that works great.
