For those who are interested in learning more about Lysander Spooner from the man himself, an invaluable source of information is undoubtedly the voluminous correspondence between Spooner and many interesting individuals that resides in two manuscript collections at the New-York Historical Society and the Boston Public Library. While incomplete transcripts can be found at http://www.lysanderspooner.org, news now comes from the New-York Historical Society that the Lysander Spooner papers held there have been completely digitized - digital images, of stunning quality, of the hundreds of Spooner letters at the N-YHS can now be viewed, free of charge, with full-text transcriptions, at https://www.nyhistory.org/slaverycollections/
This is a fantastic development for scholars of Spooner's work. Spooner would, of course, be very proud of this.
