The Battlefield Trust announced recently an opportunity to purchase over 1,000 acres at Chickasaw Bayou. This was the North's first major attempt to take the vital city of Vicksburg. Previous expeditions had failed without truly threatening the city with Holly Springs being the most notable.
I've dabbled with AI to animate photos of woman soldiers, which you can see on my YouTube channel. I've got others I have not publicized yet but will at some point. I want to go back and re-work some of them. But they're neat, and I've used some in my presentations to add to the attendees' experience. AI is controversial today, but it can certainly serve as a positive tool. In the case of historical topics, these enhanced photos and videos can humanize the individuals we study and bring them closer to us.
You can find various AI videos on YouTube. Some are great. Others are goofy. I came across this video I found especially intriguing because it contains a couple of Civil War women soldiers.
