Good morning and congratulations, Dr. Leveen, for your fine article. I too, briefly discussed the Hoeflick case in my study Black Confederates and Afro-Yankees in Civil War Virginia (Charlottesville and London: University Press of Virginia, 1995), pp.175-176.

Subject: Imperfect Justice in the Imperfect Archive: Uncovering Extrajudicial Black Resistance in Richmond’s Civil War Court Records
The Journal of the Civil War Era kicked off Black History Month by publishing "Imperfect Justice in the Imperfect Archive: Uncovering Extrajudicial Black Resistance in Richmond’s Civil War Court Records.” https://www.journalofthecivilwarera.org/2023/02/imperfect-justice-in-the-imperfect-archive-uncovering-extrajudicial-black-resistance-in-richmonds-civil-war-court-records/ <https://www.journalofthecivilwarera.org/2023/02/imperfect-justice-in-the-imperfect-archive-uncovering-extrajudicial-black-resistance-in-richmonds-civil-war-court-records/>
I wrote this (short! free! very teachable!) piece based on research I did at Library of Virginia, to demonstrate how historians interpret archival materials to find the perspectives of African Americans, and other individuals/groups whose experiences the archival materials were originally intended to ignore or suppress. Hopefully some of you will find it useful — every month of the year.
Best regards
Lois
