November 28, 2011

  • Thanks to Donald E. Coho, York, PA, for correcting the number of casualties that I had copied, in error, from the Plaque on the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry's statue at Sharpsburg/Antietam.



November 24, 2011

  • In the process of revising the Tredegar Iron Works section because of the changes in the visitor center due to a combined American Civil War Center and National Park Service reception area on the NPS first floor.



April 19, 2011

  • Until now, the Lincoln Section on this site had a link to a detailed photograph of Lincoln at Gettysburg on the Library of Congress website. The Library of Congress changed the page containing that photograph. Accordingly, instead of re-linking to the revised photograph page on the Library of Congress website, I downloaded the photograph and added it directly to the Lincoln Section on this site.



April 6, 2011

  • During the past couple of days this site has been out of service due to a new server being installed by our web host. When the site was moved to the new server (apparently using backup disks) changes made after June 7, 2010 were lost.

    Since we have a current copy of our site on our local disk drive we have been able to upload and replace the affected pages as needed.

    Our upload corrected the site except for a minor problem: The copyright date on each page that we did not upload is 2010 instead of 2011.

    Since the Copyright OF THE COMPLETE SITE through 2011 is indicated on the main index and photograph index pages we elected not to upload all 500 pages just to correct the 2010 entry.

    Accordingly, the site is still fully copyrighted and the 2010 entry will be corrected in the near future.

    If you encountered a trouble accessing the site or finding recent changes please accept our apology.
