Dear Civil War Roundtable,
Our company, the Astragal Press, is an independent publishing company based in Mendham, NJ. We
publish unique books devoted to the subjects of metalworking trades (such as copper and blacksmithing),
antique tools and early sciences.
Many of our books are historically based - good for students, collectors, historians, curators, academics or
just plain lovers of history. Our books have been carried by such institutions as The Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation, Mystic Seaport, The National Ornamental Metal Museum, The United States Post Office Store,
Winterthur Museum, among others.
We have many books that address time periods ranging from about 1740 to early 20th century and our titles
on metalworking, blacksmithing and antique tools come immediately to mind. Although at first glance
somewhat tangential to the Civil War, some of these items or methods may have been used during the
1861-1865 timeframe and may be useful in camp re-enactment or in the study of this historical period.
I was hoping you might consider linking to us and invite you to review our site at your convenience
(www.astragalpress.com).
If you would like, we would be happy to set up a reciprocal
link for your site, of course. Just let us know if there is any description you would like
us to use. I look forward to your reply.
Regards,
Kathryn Bednarz, Editor |
