The 16x9 version of the video can be found here: • Ulysses S. Grant's Cou...
On May 21, 1864 war photographer Timothy O'Sullivan took a series of photos of Ulysses S. Grant's Council of War during the Overland Campaign. The photos were taken on the upper level of the Massaponax Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, Va.
Garry Adelman and Kris White of the American Battlefield Trust break down these historic shots.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

Enjoy the 360° version of our new "Step Into History" installment! For the best experience, make sure the video quality is set to 2160p.

Love the 360deg version. Makes it so much more like we’re there the best we can be.

Awesome video. I used to live in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area and passed that church many times. Fantastic concentration of battlefields in that area. I used to hike in the Spotsylvania battlefield several days a week since I lived about 3 miles away.

Timothy O'Sullivan is the hero of these photos. Gary and Kriss were great interpreters.

Lots of luck was involved with those slow cameras but O'Sullivan was an experienced photographer and could make his own luck.

Wow, fantastic! I've been there and walked through the site but the church was closed at the time. This 360° presentation with the view from above tops off the one from my casual walk through. Thank for putting this up on KZfaq.

The Union had an abundance of staff officers. What would a comparable scene from the ANV look like? Lee with Longstreet looking over a map, with Moxley Sorrell nearby? AP Hill unaccounted for?

There are two photographs that are memorable to me. Ok technically this is a three photo series but these fascinate me. The other single photo of of the three Confederate captive in Gettysburg.

The 360 thing is kind of annoying. Everything is constantly off center and I have to keep adjusting it instead of being able to pay attention to the content.

It's not for everyone. Feel free to stick with the 16x9 version.

360° footage is great but I had to stop watching because the only thing I could see is a black screen and I couldn't turn around and watch while laying in bed
