Very well done colorization work. The one of the young man not in uniform who was part of the assassination plot looks like a contemporary pic.

No kidding. Even in B&W, that could pass as a contemporary portrait.

Yeah, but I think part of that is his shirt and haircut wouldn't look out of place among 20-something's today. (Shirt style and color, not fabric)

But yeah, fascinating photos.

Mark Twain's shoes would have fitted in very well in a 1980's nightclub during the New Romantic era.

Agreed. He looks like Dexter.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
