Roger Fenton was a British Photographer and the cart that you have shown with his assistant was in the Crimean war, not the US Civil War. The photos of the execution of the conspirators is by Alexander Gardner, not Matthew Brady, although Gardner did work for Brady for a time. Harvest of death at Gettysburg is by Timothy O'Sullivan, again, not Matthew Brady, although he also worked for Brady for a while. Thought you might want to get your facts straight.
