Bet the German snipers loved those French uniforms. Not exactly subdued...?
Manedwolf, that was indeed an issue at the time. Tuchmann describes it, I think.
Post by: K Frame on July 11, 2008, 07:23:51 AM
The blue gray (Horizon Blue, IIRC) uniforms that many of the soldiers are wearing in those photographs were adopted in 1915/1916 when it became painfully apparent that the red pants were getting a LOT of French soldiers killed, and that the German gray-green uniform was very effective at helping the Germans blend in.
Ah, here we go. A picture of the pantalones rouge uniforms that were in use in the early stages of the war...

Wonderful pictures. It's easy to forget that the world was in color back then. All we see is black and white, and the brain, at least my brain, thinks on some level the world was black and white.
Me too. It's amazing to see sunlight in some of those pictures, and to realize that the world was a colorful then as it is now. The black and white photographs seem to lend a air of gravity to the conflict, at least that's my reaction to seeing black and white WWI photographs, and seeing these color photographs reminds me that these were real people who lived and laughed and celebrated and weren't just somber solders all the time.

I grew up reading Civil and WWII history. As a kid it seemed like some distant grainy past, but to see the color pictures of WWI and WWII really drives home to me how modern and close to us much of those conflicts were.

Quote
Color film was non-existent in 1909 Russia, yet in that year a photographer named Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii embarked on a photographic survey of his homeland and captured hundreds of photos in full, vivid color. His photographic plates were black and white, but he had developed an ingenious photographic technique which allowed him to use them to produce accurate color images.
He accomplished this with a clever camera of his own design, which took three black and white photos of a scene in rapid sequence, each though a differently colored filter. His photographic plates were long and slender, capturing all three images onto the same plate, resulting in three monochrome images which each had certain color information filtered out.
Sergei was then able to use a special image projector to project the three images onto a screen, each directly overlapping the others, and each through the appropriately colored filter. The recombined projection was a full-color representation of the original scene. Each three-image series captured by the camera stored all of the color information onto the black and white plates; all they lacked was actual tint, which the color filters on the projector restored.

The colors of the second one are what really stuns me, the colors of the robe. It's not even the washed out color of early processes, it's modern film/digital color. Post by: seeker_two on July 13, 2008, 03:35:53 AM

I wonder if Confederate Gen. John McGruder believed it when, in 1863, he attacked the Union-held city of Galveston and retook it, ejecting the garrison troops, who were natives of Massachusetts?
Nah.

I went to Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. In the years leading up to the civil war a LOT of Southern "gentlemen" went there and later served in the Confederate Army.
Apparently when the South started withdrawing from the Union almost half the college's enrollment and a number of professors went South.

MI:
From the perspective of this Son of Iowa, it seems that the Union was unable to hold any Texas territory without absolute command of the surrounding navigable waters. In the absence of such waters, the Union land efforts dried out. Even with absolute command, they were unable to secure Galveston Island.
Anyways, both Texas and Virginia were side shows. The real point of decision was the Mississippi River.
Post by: K Frame on July 14, 2008, 10:58:52 AM
Huh?
The Union blockage did command the navigable waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Even after the Confederates recaptured Galveston it was virtually worthless as a port. The Union didn't capture, or need to capture, every port available to the Confederates. Galveston during the Civil War wasn't capable of being a supply hub to the Confederacy in the way that Mobile, New Orleans, or Charleston were. It was too far off the beaten path and too poorly served by rail at that time.
That the Union wasn't really all that concerned about keeping Galveston can be seen by the garrison they had there when McGruder attacked.... no more than 290 Union troops were garrisoned there with no apparent plan to bring more Union troops into the town, despite the fact that strong Confederate forces were known to be in that part of Texas.
Contrast that to New Orleans or Mobile, where the first few weeks of the occupation saw as man as 50,000 Union troops garrisoning in the cities.

Later in the war the Confederates resorted to running supplies through Mexican ports in the Gulf and bringing them up across the border.
The French had invaded Mexico in 1863, so they were at least somewhat amenable to that practice.

BTW, if you want a serious "Wow, what if" to consider with the Civil War, research the steamship Great Eastern, and how, but for a completely screwed up board of directors, she would have been commissioned to carry the ENTIRE Southern cotton crop to Europe. Negotiations were quite under way, but the directors were adamant that she was to be successful in the New York passenger trade, which she never, ever was.
She was 700 feet long and made of solid iron, double-hulled as well. Absolutely nothing in the Union fleet could have stopped her...she could have just plowed right through. That, and she could have pretty much exported the entirely yearly crop in one shipment.

The point being, the Union could not hold any square inch of the Texas mainland and could barely hold, for a time, an island off its coast.
IOW, no ability to project force inland and control the land.
Relative to the Mississippi campaign, not particularly significant. But it was reality at the time.
Post by: K Frame on July 14, 2008, 12:09:28 PM
You're confusing ability with need.
There was no need for the Union to project sustained ground forces into Texas.
Do you really doubt that the Union could have easily taken, and held, anywhere it wanted?
The forces the Union sent against Texas were miniscule in comparison to what were directed at truly important Confederate ports.
Mobile was far more heavily defended than any point in Texas during the War, and Union forces didn't have too much trouble not only seizing, but keeping, the harbor, city, and surrounding countryside.
I know this is going to come as a horrific blow to Texas pride, but do you know why the Union didn't much bother with Texas during the war?
Because of its overall unimportance to BOTH the Union and Confederate war efforts.
With the growing Union blockade, Texas ports were less and less functional. And, as I noted, Texas was so far removed, and so poorly connected, that its usefulness as a supply hub for the Confederacy was non existent.
And once the Mississippi River corridor was taken with the fall of Vicksburg, Texas really, as far as Union war plans were concerned, ceased to exist.

ANd the only reason the French invaded/took over Mexico was because the US was somewhat busy at the moment. However the French used the opportunity to add another glorious chapter to their martial history......
