"Castle Thunder," Richmond, Va.

1 pp 1861

From "War Memories" catalog: This is a building which was used by the Rebels as a prison to confine Union soldiers. Its history is almost as damnable as that of Libby Prison. The horrors of both "Castle Thunder" and Libby Prison will be vividly remembered as long as any soldier who was therein confined shall live.

"Drum corps" 93d N.Y. Infantry, August, 1863

1 pp 1863

From "War Memories" catalog: The Company views of the old 93d New York, are so clear that any survivor of that well know regiment can pick out his comrades almost as well as if they were in line before him. This view was taken at Bealton, Va., in August, 1863. At the request of the New York Tribune we publish these company views for the benefit of our New York comrades who will keenly appreciate this photographic muster of the old regiment, years after most of the veterans of the old 93d are dead; those of the regiment who still survive will take great pleasure in "looking backwards" more than a quarter of a century into the faces of their comrades of the war.
