... that John Milton Hawks recruited emancipated slaves to serve in the Union Army?

This is a good hook and the article has a lot going for it, but Find a Grave, which is used as the source for the hook and much of the article's content, is not reliable. Please see: Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#Find-a-Grave. Can you replace this source? Nick-D (talk) 10:38, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I have now referenced some of the other material, but I have not found anything for the hook yet. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Either the second or third facts cited to reference 8 could be turned into an interesting hook, I think. Nick-D (talk) 08:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

OK how about alt1 ... that John Milton Hawks provided medical treatment to freed black soldiers during the American Civil War?

That works for me: this hook is good to go. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 11:52, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
