And it is a marvelous pairing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Brennan, a long-time student of the Civil War, published author, and an editorial advisor for \u003ci\u003eThe Civil War Monitor \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, has teamed up with his technology-astute daughter Dylan Brennan to bring the largest Civil War battle to life in the remarkable 2-volume study: \u003ci\u003eGettysburg in Color\u003c\/i\u003e. Volume 1 covers \u003ci\u003eBrandy Station to the Peach Orchard\u003c\/i\u003e, and Volume 2 covers \u003ci\u003eThe Wheatfield to Falling Waters\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than guess or dabble with the colors, the Brennans used an artificial intelligence-based computerized color identifier to determine the precise color of uniforms, flesh, hair, equipment, terrain, houses, and much more. The result is a monumental full-color study of the important three-day battle that brings the men, the landscape, and the action into the\u003cbr\u003e21st Century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe deep colorization of battle-related woodcuts, for example, reveals a plethora of details that have passed generations of eyes unseen. The photos of the soldiers and their officers look as if they were taken yesterday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of this modern technology shines a light on one Gettysburg photographic mystery in particular. Colorizing some of the battle's \"death\" images revealed the presence of Union and Confederate dead that may help determine the previously unknown location of the photographs. That may also be a \"first\" when it comes to Civil War photography, as Pat Brennan explains: \"It was long believed this was an image of seven dead Union soldiers. In fact, only five are Union men. The other two are Confederates. I am still researching the issue, but I believe this may be the only photo we have from the entire Civil War that portrays dead from both sides.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1960s, the unique presentation in Bruce Catton's \u003ci\u003eThe American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e spurred the interest of a generation of readers. With its sweeping prose and stunning visuals, \u003ci\u003eGettysburg in Color\u003c\/i\u003e will have a similar impact on future generations as it takes its place as one of the most influential titles on the American Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 11.28 x 8.76 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765859811616,"sku":"9781611216097","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/add971d11f30106f9aff3a52c02c3940.webp?v=1780281913","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/gettysburg-in-color-volume-1-brandy-station-to-the-peach-orchard-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
