This Mighty Scourge   

Mike Noirot runs a blog which is slightly out of the ordinary--it actually focuses on the Civil War! Itself! As in, discussions of battles, regiments, companies, down to the level of individual soldiers. A companion blog to another site he runs, this is one of the newer blogs on our list, evidently starting in January 2009. Also featured are book reviews and interviews with the authors. This is based on a WordPress template and requires registering with WP in order to comment. A walk-through of the procedure is given in the right sidebar under the link "How To Post" in the heading "Pages."
