Last week I sat down with Dr. Will Walker, co-editor of New York History, for a brief chat about some of the primary sources I used in my recent article, "Love at War: The Civil War Courtship of John L. Hoster and Josephine Cole." The article appeared in the latest issue of New York History, which is a special issue on New York in the Civil War.
If you would like to check out the issue, the New York State Historical Association has graciously granted me the opportunity to offer my blog readers a limited-time opportunity to obtain a free copy of this issue. All you have to do is send an email request to publications@nysha.org, and they will email you a PDF copy. In case you missed my previous post about it, here is the full table of contents:
