Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper was a general illustrated news magazine out of New York City. There are numerous articles and wood engravings of events before, during, and after the American Civil War (many based on war artist sketches). Note that due to the news cycle for images at the time, the corresponding illustrations may be weeks or months after the event in question occurred. Likewise, many place names are misspelled and idiosyncratic or uncommon names for battles are used. NOTE: To extract an image at high-resolution, zoom in to the highest magnification in the browser-viewer, then right-click save.
Selections of the various wood engravings were later collected and presented in the following volumes, where those that are selected are usually in more-pristine condition than in the original newspaper (there is less newsprint bleed):
Harper's Weekly was a rival illustrated newspaper to Frank Leslie's, published in New York City and operating in much the same format. Note that due to the news cycle for images at the time, the corresponding illustrations may be weeks or months after the event in question occurred. Likewise, many place names are misspelled and idiosyncratic or uncommon names for battles are used. NOTE: To extract an image at high-resolution, zoom in to the highest magnification in the browser-viewer, then right-click save.
The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion are a collection of primary sources of the civil war in the form of reports and correspondence of the armies and navies of the Union and the Confederacy. Material from both sides was collected during and in the decades after the war and edited into over 100 volumes.
