The Civil War in Depth: History in 3-D

The first book to present the greatest photographs of the Civil War in the three-dimensional format in which they were originally taken and meant to be seen, The Civil War in Depth is a landmark contribution to both photographic history and the ever-popular study of the Southern rebellion. Author Bob Zeller resurrects a fascinating aspect of Civil War photography that has, until now, been largely forgotten, assembling more than 150 of the most compelling views of the war -- some of them well known in their one-dimensional form; all of them remarkable windows on another time. Complete with a stereoscopic viewer that unveils each image in glorious 3-D, The Civil War in Depth offers scenes that come to life in a way no two-dimensional photograph ever could. The remarkable collection includes the first war action photograph ever taken -- the shelling of Fort Sumter in 1863 -- as well as more than a dozen Civil War images never published until now. From the stoic face of Abraham Lincoln to the slave pens, prisons, wrecked battlefields, and devastated cities of the South, the war between the states has never been revealed with such astonishing clarity.

Less than two years ago, however, he was granted access to a phenomenal collection of Civil War stereo photos...

History in 3-D

"Civil War in Depth" is a fascinating piece of work. The stereoscopic photographs literally jump off the page when viewed properly with the enclosed 3-D viewer. Many of these views were previously published using only one side. Thus the true look and clarity of detail was lost, but within these pages the pictures come back to life!In speaking with Mr. Zeller at Chambersfest 99' in Chambersburg, PA, I found many of these...

The Civil War in Depth: History in 3-D

Wow! I stumbled upon this book several years ago and knew immediately that it was a keeper. The information is fascinating, and the photographs are simply amazing and extremely easy to view once you learn the basics of the viewer. I have had no problems viewing these pictures, but friends and family members who have had problems viewing 3-D (Magic Eye) pictures have experienced difficulties in seeing the full effect of...
