Every Day of the Civil War:
A Chronological Encyclopedia
Bud Hannings
From
the early seizure of government property during the latter part of 1860
to the final Confederate surrender in 1865, this book provides a
day-to-day account of the U.S. Civil War. Although the book provides a
daily chronicle of the combat, it is written in narrative form to give
readers some continuity as they move from skirmish to skirmish. During
the course of the saga, the book also chronicles the life spans of more
than 600 Union and Confederate vessels, documenting when possible the
time of each vessel's acquisition, commissioning, major engagements, and
decommissioning. Seven appendices provide lists of prominent Union and
Confederate officers, primary naval actions, and Medal of Honor
recipients from 1863 to 1
