Archival Adventures - Harper's Weekly Journal 1862
Archival Adventures - Harper's Weekly Journal 1862
Time for an adventure! This week, we head to 1862 and back into the pages of Harper's Weekly - the powerhouse magazine that helped shape public opinion during the Civil War. As the Union gains ground and the push toward abolition accelerates, we'll explore how Harper's captured the spirit of the time. From major battles, popular culture, and pivotal points in U.S history, join us as we uncover it all through masterful illustrations that brought the war home for readers.
