Civil War Chronologies
by
James F. Epperson
|
Over
the years that I have spent studying the Civil War (or, if
you prefer, War Between the States), I have gradually come
to appreciate the value of a good chronology of events as
an aid to understanding a battle or campaign or, even, a
political controversy. Having collected or written a few
chronologies for Round Table talks or battlefield tours, I
decided to put some of them, and others, on the Internet
as a resource for other Civil War students.
It is the intent that each of these chronologies will be devoid of interpretation or editorial comment. Each one will tell what happened, and when it happened. References will be given for each chronology, but not for each event. List of chronologies (if the link is inactive, it means the chronology is planned, but not finished). |

Credits: Dave Smith and Tom Breiner prepared the second day portion of the Chickamauga chronology; the secession crisis chronology was based on a newsgroup post originally authored by Mark Pitcavage; the emancipation chronology is from the Freedman and Slavery Project website at the University of Maryland. The eagle background image on some pages was found on Chuck Ten Brink's old Third Michigan Battery website; the Confederate seal background used on certain other pages was created by Kathie Fraser. I maintain two other Civil War sites: Click here for a brief biography of the author/publisher. Website created on (or before) July 5, 1998. |
