I have enjoyed experimenting with AI and Civil War photos, including the few of women soldiers. Here is a short one I recently made of Frances Elizabeth Quinn who served as "Frank Miller" in the 90th Illinois Infantry. I untangled her garbled story and revealed the truth of her troubled past in my book. Short video of an animated Frances Elizabeth Quinn, alias Frances Hook, who serves as "Frank Miller" in the 90th Illinois Infantry. The photos were taken while she was hospitalized in Nashville in 1864 from a nasty leg wound. Nurses encouraged her to have the images made and sell them in order to raise funds for herself. There are letters written by soldiers who mentioned buying one. And you can find images for auction periodically today.
At some point, I hope someone will colorize these images. This is beyond my extremely meager skills. If that happens, I'll redo the animation and make a new video.
