This is such an iconic story of American History documented by LIFE. At the time there was no way to instantly transmit photos. This film had to be hand delivered from the battlefield to the editor, and then to the publisher for final print.

Thanks for that! I had not heard the story of the Colonel who dropped all that film before.

Made me think of this story, either because they both involve rare photos, or just because I'd read it so recently:
