I recently received an email from Anita Collins, whose daughter is in a New Jersey Girl Scout Troup. The girls received a large collection of Civil War magazines that they had planned to donate to a local nursing home, but the nursing home already had plenty of magazines. At that point, Anita contacted TOCWOC – A Civil War Blog asking how best to sell these items. The girls plan to use the money raised to visit a historical site, a very worthy cause. Luckily for you, I asked Anita to give TOCWOC readers first shot at purchasing the magazines. Anita’s email and magazine listings follow. If you’re interested in purchasing one, some, or even all of these, leave a comment below and I’ll get you into contact with her.
Dear Brett,
Thank you for this opportunity to connect with TOCWOC – A Civil War Blog.
Two Girl Scout Cadettes in NJ are trying to achieve their Silver Award (similar to steps toward a Boy Scout Eagle Award). Their community service project is to help improve the lives of residents in a Morris County nursing home.
A local history teacher donated his collection of civil war magazines to the girls, but the nursing home said they have enough magazines. The girls decided to use this opportunity to raise money for the troop to go on a historic site field trip by selling the magazines to Civil War history enthusiasts.
Can TOCWOC – A Civil War Blog readers help?
The magazines are in excellent condition and were well cared for. If there was a page crease noticed, we said the condition was very good.
Attached are the list of magazines we have for sale including Blue and Gray, America’s Civil War, and Civil War Times Illustrated.
Thanks for your help!
Anita
