    Want to see Abe Lincoln at Antietam?

    This photo is one a person can study to see the cast of characters there at the war zone site.

    I wonder why the two others have their hand in their jacket? Cooties?

    I've never seen that photo in color, it's very interesting. Lincoln was tall. Not much of a looker though.

    That was a common pose.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I believe Abe was 6-4. And made him seem taller with that top hat. It is Maj. Gen McClelland to the right and Allan Pinkerton to the left. They have truly advanced colorizing photos these days.

    Did you mean McClellan? If so, that's not him. He didn't wear a beard.

    The colorizing site said the name I gave with it's own error. It looked to me like Grant. Is that better?

    That's not Grant either. I have no idea who that is. Probably some staff officer.

    A profile shot makes it hard to figure out.

    I am back to it being McClellan again since he was the CG there and it makes sense Abe would meet with him.
