I am excited to announce a new page on my website:

The Civil War Timeline

There are a number of great Civil War data and timeline sources out there, and I am certainly not trying to recreate the wheel. However, most of the timeline sources I have found are vague at best and give little other help or direction in finding out more detailed information.

This particular project began as an idea and I began compiling information, perhaps to even create this on its very own website. It seemed wasteful to do so however and logic demanded I simply add this information as a page on this site.

October 16, 2009 marked the 150th anniversary of what many people consider to be the opening salvo of the Civil War; John Brown’s Raid.

The timeline will show significant events over the course of the war and on the specific 150th anniversary of each event, a single posting will arrive right here on Uncommon History. From that point on, a link to that information from the Civil War Timeline will be active.

I truly hope this helps bring Civil War history alive to you. If you have any comments or ideas on this endeavor, I would love to receive them.
