This catalog is a listing of photographs made by Alexander Gardner and his operatives during the Civil War. The listings you will see here consist of the original captions [when known] with their original number assigned by Gardner. For images in which the original caption is not available, a derived caption is provided, enclosed in brackets. Over the years, well-meaning and/or misinformed historians have taken these photos out of their historical context by assigning new captions to them. Here, for the first time since these photos were originally published, the corpus of Gardner photographs will be re-assembled, in their intended order. By doing this, it is hoped that the importance of these photographs as primary sources will be re-established, and removed from their current status as mere illustrative aides.
