I saved the image of the Soldiers arrayed before the tent, and the image of 
 Twain, opened them in my picture program and converted them to gray  
scale. Wow. I have trouble believing a color photo from the Civil War, but the  
wonderful sharpness of the B&W images is something else! Try it.

This  project represents a very good intention, I think; and I think some  
of
these photos are quite lovely.  But I wonder what other scholars  think of
this technique??  Modestly soldiers but also including our  paragon,  MT...
