About the Author:
Mr. Lovenstein graduated from Temple University in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and is a member of the Northampton County Genealogical Society. He has been an avid collector of Civil War memorabilia for over 30 years. As a lifelong resident of Northampton County, he began researching the history of the 153rd Pennsylvania Regiment, when he procured a rare book on the subject written by Ethan Allen Weaver, son of Sergeant Henry Weaver, who served in the regiment. Weaver corresponded with many members of the regiment and compiled a memorial album dedicated to his father. Mr. Lovenstein is a Program Analyst for the Curtiss Wright Engineered Pump Division in Phillipsburg, New Jersey and resides with his wife in Easton, Pennsylvania.
