Here again it came in the form of a double exposure. Armstrong gives youngsters a double exposure of the Civil War, first providing a chronological, factual overview and, second, focusing on showing how photographs, in particular prints from Mathew Brady's studio, allowed noncombatants to see how the war looked to those living, fighting, suffering, and dying on battlefields far from their homes.
