The History of the US Civil War, 1 November 1860

It seems The New York Times is going to track the US Civil War day-by-day.

Here is the link to today's item, "The Last Ordinary Day".  Their pitch:

One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Americans went to war with themselves.  Disunion revisits and reconsiders America's most perilous period -- using contemporary accounts, diaries, images and historical assessments to follow the Civil War as it unfolded.

This sounds like it will be a great series.
