Old Hero of Gettysburg, John L. Burns Color Tinted photo Civil War 01659

Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy (Metallic) finish: Our Metallic Photo Paper features a unique pearlescent surface. It offers highly saturated colors, ultra-bright backgrounds, and will last a lifetime with typical home storage. The 'Old Hero of Gettysburg' John L. Burns Gettysburg, Pa; July 1863 Born in 1793, John Burns had already fought in the war of 1812 and later volunteered for the Mexican-American War. By the time the Civil War started in 1861 he was already 68, but once again quickly volunteered. This time however he was rejected. A sad and empty Burns was sent home to quietly sit out the war in Gettysburg, until the war came to him. On June 26th, 1863 he was jailed for resisting the invading Confederate army. When the battle of Gettysburg started on July 1st, the Confederates retreated from the town and Burns was released. He, then in turn, arrested several Confederate stragglers and continued to resist single-handedly until relieved by Union forces. Not to miss his opportunity, he grabbed his flintlock and powder horn and marched off to war. After borrowing a modern rifle from a wounded soldier, he asked to fall in with the nearest regiment. He fought first with the 7th Wisconsin and later the 24th Michigan. Wounded both in the arm, and leg and with minor chest wounds, he was left behind during a retreat. Burns left his rifle and ammunition, crawled away and was found by the Confederates. Convincing them that he was a civilian that had been wounded looking for his invalid wife, he was treated and released. After the battle he was received as a national hero. Upon arriving in Gettysburg several months later, Lincoln insisted on meeting Burns. The following year, Bret Harte (future associate of Mark Twain's) wrote a poem.
