Below is a list of new books that were reviewed in the 1868 Peterson Magazine's January issue. Each of these books were listed as a "New Book" however, I found some had earlier copyright dates. Also, being a January edition to see an 1867 date makes sense. I've attached links to as many of the books as possible for you to see what your characters might have been reading during those days. Enjoy!
The Guardian Angel by Oliver Wendell Holmes This volume is a later volume but the same book.
Shamrock & Thistle by Oliver Optic
Rienzi by Lord Lytton Google books has an earlier publishing date but I believe it comes from the text of the story not the actual publishing date since it was a new book in Peterson 1868.
Widow Spriggins, Mary Elmer and other sketches by Mrs. F. M. Whitaker (This book doesn't have a link in Google books or on the web but is mentioned in many publications.
