Michael Miley, Lee's Photographer

I got an interesting book from the library on 19th century photographer Michael Miley: General Lee's Photographer. It was published in 1954 and is out of print.

I looked on Amazon and learned that author Marshall William Fishwick has written many books since then including a few on popular culture which sound interesting.

All the books that folks bought were fairly inexpensive. They were linked from my Civil War Field Trips website and were all guides to Civil War sites.
