About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Dwight Eisenhower was assigned for a while to Camp Meade during WWI, if I remember right. I think he moved his troops from there to the Gettysburg area, and then served at Meade shortly after WWI, too.
Special orders don't upset us.
