A vivid, groundbreaking history of Gettysburg’s transformation into sacred ground, told through colorized images and deep research.Patrick Brennan, a long-time student of the Civil War and editorial advisor for The Civil War Monitor magazine, with his technology-astute daughter Dylan Brennan, brought Gettysburg into the 21st century with Gettysburg in Color: Volume 1: Brandy Station to the Peach Orchard and Volume 2: The Wheatfield to Falling Waters. The third and final entry examines the battlefield’s transformation from post-battle hell to American shrine.The Brennans used an artificial intelligence-based computerized color identifier to determine the general color of uniforms, flesh, hair, equipment, terrain, houses, and more with stunning accuracy.

The deep colorization of battle-related woodcuts, for example, reveals a plethora of details that have passed generations of eyes unseen.
