Hello dear readers, I just wanted to pop in and let you know about some changes that I’ll be making. Over the past couple of weeks, researching and writing the CWDG has become a mentally exhausting chore from hell. I attribute this to the fact that I was in the midst of the Maryland Campaign. [...]

This past weekend (and again today), CWDG and every other blog I run was hacked. I’m still sorting all of this out and it’s an absolute nightmare. Seriously, I was *this* close to just closing down everything. My feelings haven’t changed all that much since then. For now, it seems to be okay, but I’m [...]

Since 1862 wasn’t a leap year, February 29, 1862 didn’t exist. Nothing at all happened on this day. So I thought I’d take the time to pop in and say hello. Since Christmas (the last time I checked in), the readership has grown, as have the donations of books, etc. After writing the CWDG for [...]

With the close of 2011, we see on the Civil War Daily Gazette, the close of 1861. On the blog, as in life, I tend not to focus on arbitrary things like the end of the year. In the Civil War, New Year’s Day was just another day for the soldiers, and just another White [...]

Today marks the one year anniversary of the first post. This also makes the start of the Civil War 151 years old. Time is flying and the sesquicentennial keeps chugging along. Through the first year of the war, we’ve seen Lincoln become president, Fort Sumter surrendered, the Union lose the battles of Bull Run, Wilson’s [...]

About a week ago, the Civil War Daily Gazette had its 100,000th pageview.1 It’s not, when compared to other blogs, a huge milestone, but I have to admit that I’m pretty happy about it, especially since I’ve only been posting for about ten and a half months. Pageviews are what old statistic trackers used to [...]

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I don’t have easy access to Civil War battlefields, cemeteries and other historical odds and ends. Sometimes it seems that there’s not even history to be had out here. Fortunately, that just isn’t true. It takes some digging, but eventually I find it. Sometimes, it even pertains to the Civil [...]

Living in Seattle doesn’t give me very much access to things like Civil War battlefields or history in general. Sometimes, however, I’ll luck onto something and, with a little stretching, I can dovetail it into the Civil War. This past weekend, Sarah and I went to see a Vintage Base Ball game at Fort Vancouver, [...]

There are three new changes that I’ve just implemented on the site. Just thought I’d share a bit. First, a great big huge thanks to the folks who have visited my Amazon Wish List and purchased a book or two (or four, thanks!). In order to keep the posts as factual and interesting as possible, [...]

An interesting aside was noted by Jackson concerning Jeb Stuart’s capture of 50 Union troops at the Battle of Falling Waters: Colonel Stuart reports his capture of an entire company (the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers), with the exception of the captain. Three, resisting, were killed. He further reports that “one of the enemy was killed by [...]
