Podcast Additional Resources: “Talking About Primary Sources”

We’ve collected some additional resources related to the ECW Podcast episode that released last week. Did you have a chance to hear it on Patreon?

Chris Mackowski and Kristopher White talked about some of their favorite primary sources and how important documents are used in research.

Since we’ve just spent a whole blog series talking about primary sources, you’ll find links to those archived articles along with a few other favorites from our files and some short videos from American Battlefield Trust about two important primary sources from the Civil War.
