History book offers context for series of previously unpublished correspondence.
Tonya McQuade, an English teacher at Los Gatos High School, gives historical context to a series of previously unpublished Civil War letters in her new book, titled “A State Divided: Civil War Letters of James C. Hale and Benjamin Petree of Andrew County, Missouri.” The book is available on Amazon.
“Tonya has always taken the time to bring real-life opportunities into her classroom. This level of personalization to US history will be an added bonus for students as she continues to share her research and knowledge,” Superintendent Bill Sanderson said in a release.
