The weather is terrible back East just now, and I am hoping there are plenty of Sanitary Commission aid stations to help the reenactors. No more Civil War casualties, please. I will dig around and find some links that might be enjoyable. The New York Fire Zoauves--what was once Ellsworth's brigade--will be fighting, so "Go B'hoys! Remember Ellsworth!"
Colonel Elmer Ellsworth was the first Union officer to die in the American Civil War. No new biography of his life has been published since 1960--so I am writing one.

Tweeting the Civil War
If you are not following this exciting use of technology, shame on you! Google up/Tweet up the Washington Post and start following. Right now--as I write!--the Battle of First Bull Run/Manassas is being tweeted in "real time." It brings chills, I tell you--CHILLS!! Plus it is fun. I was at the 125th Reenactment back in the day--it was one of the thrills of my life.
