Talk:James Redpath

reassessing, Haiti and antislavery projects

I think this article needs a reassessing from a stub to a star class. It fits all of the requirements. Also, I think we should consider including this article in the Haiti project, and link it with the antislavery/abolitionist projects too. But not before opening and expanding a Haiti section. Any ideas? Historian (talk) 21:30, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Steam Presses Running Night And Day

Publishers Thayer & Eldridge who received Redpath's completed biography of John Brown (abolitionist) were quick off the mark in

getting the book into production. The company they used to print the book, George C. Rand & Avery, struggled to keep pace with
demand and worked round the clock to meet public thirst. Thayer & Eldridge cleverly placed advertisements far and wide 'asking' the
public to be patient! One such advertisement was placed in the New-York Daily Tribune, front page on January 25th., 1860. It's near
the top of the second column and can be viewed here:  http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030213/1860-01-25/ed-1/seq-1/ 
Very savvy, indeed. But it gets better. On the same front page near the bottom of the fourth column there is another advertisement
for the book stating  A liberal percentage arising from proceeds of sale to be given to the FAMILY of CAPT. BROWN  followed by
their New York agent's details.

The profits from this publication will undoubtedly have been enormous, and would have enabled James to invest heavily in his heartfelt endeavours.MZionC (talk) 18:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in James Redpath

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of James Redpath's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "McKivigan":

• From Lysander Spooner: McKivigan, John (1999). Abolitionism and American Law. pp. 66–67.
• From Reparations for slavery in the United States: McKivigan, John R. (2008). Forgotten firebrand : James Redpath and the making of nineteenth-century America. Ithaca, New Yorkk: Cornell University Press.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:23, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
