Default A sneak peek at upcoming portraits...

Here are a few more of the photos I'll be working from... I'm still learning about the major players, so please let me know if I'm missing anyone... And, if anyone has any additional ones they would like me to do, please let me know!

I just found this link - The Civil War . The War . Biographies of Key Figures . Whitman | PBS - answeres a lot of my questions! I'm going to buy this DVD as soon as I can!

Smile Ken Burns series online

Hey Portrait

Before you "Buy" the PBS series, you can watch all nine episodes online here:
Stage6 · History - Gunpowder And Steel · Videos

The first one is the top left.

Thanks
Leo

Hello PA...... I love the photo of the 4 guys! Imagine seeing them coming at you in the woods of the deep south!!
Here's one if you are interested. This fellows name was General Ames. His story can be found here
The reason this guy is interesting to me is, after the war he built a castle in my town. In the early 80's I bought the carridge house at the bottom of the street where the caretaker lived. Story has it that the caretaker would come out and open the gates for the folks visiting Gen Ames in the castle. The staircase in my house was from an old Mississippi riverboat. I sold the house after living there for 10 years and bought something a little more modern!!
Anyhow, here's a photo of Gen. Ames, whom I understand was not very well liked!!:


God Bless
Jerry
PS.... I never MD'ed the yard.... I wasn't into it at the time
