NEW INFORMATION: I thank Joel Scharf for the following, which injects some mystery into this lot; "I just want to call your attention to lot 300 which is described as 'Ruins at Manassas,' which, according to William Frassanito, is actually a photo of Bloody Lane at Antietam. As we discussed before, Frassanito is the noted expert on photos of most eastern theater views. I don't know if this makes lot 300 suspect but it is unusual to find Gardner and Gibson to so mistakenly label a stereoview. As far as I know, there were never any photos taken at Manassas right after the battle that showed war dead."
