The reason is, in 2003 or so the library of congress digitized their original negatives and put them online
Every guy knows white socks black shoes. Dont do it. Thats probably why in the margin over here the photographer scratched dont use. Look at them constructing that image together. The general doesnt look particularly good in this one so dont use it. Lets stand him up and get one thats even better. Not quite there though, is it . Mover, sir thank you. Just so your head is right in the middle of that cross. The image thats gone around the world. Even this has a little forensic secret. The devil is in the details. Some angry Union Soldiers scratched in the brick there with a chalk or knife, devil. This photograph was made on april 20th. You dont think there was some Union Soldiers in town that felt that way afterbout lee. Sure. Remember 9 11. Fearful, scared, same thing. Thats what lee and brady were conspireing to take on.

One of the other things that i enjoy is look at the girl. Look at daddys knee and mothers chair. She is locked in. She is not going to move. Shes not going anywhere. Something else that kind of intrigues me. Look at the preoccupation. I dont understand this gesture. I really got nothing here for you folks.

The staff looks off in all different directions. Then youll find a slightly different shot. Oh, yeah, we got a movie coming on. This fascinates me on a number of levels. Look at this guys pants. Untucked tucked, untucked, tuck tucked.
