Researchers have found hair dye bottles and evidence of a photographic studio at Camp Nelson—a former Union camp.
The researchers from Transylvania University in Lexington initially thought that the bottles were used to hold medicine. However, when the team started putting the pieces of glass back together they noticed some featured embossed lettering, with names such as"Bear's Oil,""Christadoro" and"Dr. Jaynes."
He suggests the reason behind this decision was that soldiers may have wanted to correct one peculiarity of early photography. Designated as a National Monument in October 2018, Camp Nelson housed more than 300 buildings and tents, which included a recruitment center, prison, hospital, barracks, sawmill, slaughterhouse, woodworking shops and other services, according to theThe army also allowed private merchants to set up shop at the camp.

"Photography back in the Civil War era was an incredibly technical and dangerous practice," McBride said."It involved many toxic chemicals. You had to know what you were doing as far as the treatment of the plates and the albumen paper."
