Patrick Brennan, a long-time student of the Civil War and published author, 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: Gettysburg in Color. Volume 1 covers Brandy Station to the Peach Orchard, and Volume 2 covers The Wheatfield to Falling Waters. Rather 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 21st Century. The 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.2The use of this modern technology shines a light on one Gettysburg photographicmystery in particular. Colorizing some of the battle's "death" images revealed thepresence of Union and Confederate dead that may help determine the previouslyunknown location of the photographs. That may also be a "first" when it comes to CivilWar photography.Pat Brennan is the author of Secessionville: Assault on Charleston (1996), To DieGame: General J. E. B. Stuart, CSA (1998), and more than twenty articles for a varietyof Civil War magazines and journals. Pat is on the Editorial Advisory Board for The CivilWar Monitor and his work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune. He has lecturedaround the country on the Civil War and Bob Dylan. Dylan Brennan works on thebroadcast video production team at Tasty Trade, a real time, online financial networkbased in Chicago.
