Cwi Daily News is Back!
Read Today's Civil War News
in our brand new Section!
 This
friends is what the long shut-down was all about. CWi is and
always has concentrated on news. The way were doing it was
unsatisfactory. We needed to build a new site for news that
wasn't built on top of another type of software. So we hope
you don't mind more news in a more attractive and accessible
format. Each day we'll bring you news of events,
reenactments, exhibits, legislation and more - all of them
affecting Civil War preservation and commemoration. We'll be
going through that commemoration for the next four years, so
there's no better time.

our site, we're not bloggers. But there sure are a lot of
great Civil War blogs out there. Our job is to find them.

removed, even more were added. You'll be surprised at the
breadth of the authors - authors, historians, reenactors and

 Who
could count the number of Civil War sites on the Internet?
Certainly not us - but we do our best to look at as many as
possible. And when we find one that we think provides
important information for our readers, we add it to
LinkCentral. Categories include People, Regional,
Regimentals, Battles and more. So make us your home, but
visit the neighbors as well!

 These
have been missing for quite awhile until we found back-up
copies on an old computer. Some of these were written by our
staff, but many by our readers. Stories range from the saga
of the children of Vicksburg, to stories of Forrest,
Sherman, Rodes and lesser knowns like August Willich,
Zollicoffer, CSA medical practices and dozens more. Many of
which you were probably never aware of. Enjoy these 30+
articles and stories! GO>>

and all the other famous officers of the war. But what about
the others. The others with lesser known names but who
performed deeds just as heroic. Those are the men we
concentrate on. Men like Tyree Bell, Thomas Jordan, Charles
Reed and hundreds of others. you'll find some of the more
notable, but check it out, you'll be surprised how much you
learn. GO>>

 Why
was the Civil War fought? A question asked thousands of
times. And it's only the writings, the notes and the
speeches of those involved we can depend on. Half are true,
half are not and it's up to you whether to believe them or
not. They are, after all, simply points-of-view. Here you'll
find documents ranging from the Kansas-Nebraska Act through
right through to Andrew Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation.
