I am available to give talks on the ex-slave experience in Civil War Ohio.
I'm currently working on a book on an ex-slave named Jordan Anderson from Tennessee, who migrates to Dayton during the Civil War. He and his family become involved in several "firsts" and they become friends of celebrities such as banker Valentine Winters, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and the Wright Brothers. Amderson sends a letter to his old master in 1865 that discusses the former slaves' feelings about slavery andf their desire for reparations. It was widely reprinted worldwide in 1865-67 and still turns up frequently in textbooks and on the Internet.
I may be contacted at finkenre@udmercy.edu or (313) 993-1016 at the University of Detroit Mercy.

I present a first person portrayal of Margaret Junkin Preston, "poetess of the Confederacy." Gain a new perspective on Union vs. States Rights through the eyes of someone who was there. Margaret was from the North and moved to Lexington, VA as a young woman. Her sister was "Stonewall" Jackson's first wife and her father was the president of Washington College. She experienced the Union Army first hand when they march through her town and ransacked her smokehouse. More information can be found at http://www.timelessvoices.weebly.com
