Dear Mr. Boyette,

Thank you for forwarding this information. You'll recall that I found the original Harpers Weekly “Rebel Negro Pickets” over five years ago and have since incorporated it into the program: Colored Confederates and United States Colored Troops. I most recently gave this program at the History a la Carte at the North Carolina Museum of History this past August 2010.

We hope to have this podcast up and running on our Museum of History and Civil War 150 website very soon.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Earl L. Ijames, Curator
