Team of Rivals

I recall when reading "Team of Rivals" that quite a few of the Washington set went off to watch one of the Bull Run battles. Nowadays we have YouTube.

Nashville, behind the lines

If I'm seeing the wagon park in the middle distance, it's a safe bet that these folks are safely outside the range of small arms and probably any artillery rounds of the era.

Wow. How much has war changed ...

To think that you'd sit on the side of a hill and watch the action. This photo is even more haunting with the ghost effects. I wonder how many of the spectators ended up dying in the Civil War?
