Thanks Knot, Alex and Mark,
You've given me a lot to ponder. I'm also interested in looking a little more into Mr. Brady's Exhibit. Like if there were more of them. In some ways, it is a history lesson, at least for me, and it's hard not to pass that on. And I think it is only Confederate soldiers. The Union dead had all been buried first, as you'd expect, before the photographer got there. It was the first time a Union army held the battle ground at then end of a major engagement like this in the East where photogrpahers could reach. So that's why I'm curious about additional exhibits.
Anyway, you make many valuable points about the text. Thank you for the extensive notes. I'll make use of them.
P.S. to Mark, I just got Writing Poetry Poems in my mailbox. Frankly I'm intimidated, but I'll give it a look.
