Author Jim Schmidt at his blog Civil War Medicine (and Writing) has posted an article about his research at the Hagley Library for his new book Lincoln's Labels: America's Best Known Brands and the Civil War. Mr. Schmidt recently donated a letter to the library related to an explosion that occurred at the DuPont powder yards in 1890. We greatly appreciate his kindness in giving us the letter and wish him the best of luck with his book. Read about his donation and research here.
