H.HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR PHOTOSA majority of the Civil War photos come from the original glass plate negatives in the holdings at the Library of Congress. The plates depict the activities both during and immediately following the War (1861-1865). The process of taking photographs during the War was complex and time-consuming. Photographers mixed their own chemicals and prepared their own wet plate glass negatives. The negatives had to be prepared, exposed, and developed within minutes, before the emulsion dried. This was a difficult process to master in a studio setting and even more difficult to work outdoors. Photographers transported their supplies in a wagon, improvised a darkroom, and learned to use their chemicals in both the blistering heat and bitter cold. In the 1880s dry plate negatives were introduced. These glass negatives were commercially available and did not need to be developed immediately after the exposure.

Stop-Loss
$9.99
I absolutely loved this movie, I like the war movies and how they show how real it, is. It shows 2 young men, who serve in the corp for their times, that they had signed on for. And when they are done serving their time, they go to Sign their papers stating that they get out. And one of them, gets a "stop-loss" the president stated that he needed "king" to go back to the war, he was such a great soldier, they needed him. But he didn't want to go back, he had served his time, and was done, done killing people, done with fighting the war. And it gets better from there, if you haven't seen this movie, you should see this one! It's a great movie! It shows you what a lot of soldiers are going through, right now. And has heart and there are some funny parts in the movie.

Cohassett Beach Chronicles: World War II in the Pacific Northwest

Remarkable for almost entirely ignoring the ongoing war, focusing instead almost exclusively on local doings (from Westport to Grayland). Her gently self-deprecating accounts of her various Victory Garden fiascos are alone worth the price of the book. I spent my childhood in Aberdeen in the '50s (from 5 to 13) and may even have met Kathy Hogan (her face, in the one picture in the book that shows it, is hauntingly familiar).
