I’d like to draw SJindy readers’ attention to http://www.thekindlechronicles.com/2012/10/19/tkc-220-guven-witteveen/ in which my experience of editing the Civil War memoirs of Francis Redfern for eBook on Kindle Digital Platform are presented.
I am hoping that other followers of the SJindy will partner with the local historical society, museum, or genealogy society in this same way to put their treasures online, too. All proceeds go to the Paine-Gillam-Scott Museum.
Here is the book blurb from November 20, 2011, when the book went “live”:
Francis William Redfern (1842-1936) completed two enlistments in the army and one in the navy. This 9,500 word booklet covers the eventful months from March to December 1865 when he patrolled Harpers Ferry, hunted for President Lincoln’s assassin, marched in the Grand Review of Armies, and was reassigned to Colorado and Wyoming territories against Native American actions (mostly the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations). Retelling his experiences at age 23 personalizes these times. The addition of archival maps, photos and other illustrations by the project editor today helps bring the stories to life.
