Frassanito continues his comparative photographic methodology first established in Antietam. In Grant and Lee, he selects war-era images principally by Timothy O’Sullivan, James Gardner, Andrew J. Russell, and the cameramen of Mathew Brady. From the dust jacket: “After a thorough examination and analysis of the photographs taken during that year [Frassanito] has been able to recreate the southward movement of the Union forces, beginning with the crossing of the Rapidan River, and to provide a fascinating photoessay.”
