Although the Civil War is only a segment of this entire site, it's still a segment worth 5-stars. The couple of dozen articles appear well-written. The regimental listing is comprehensive and a big asset. A very good all-around Civil War site with a little something for everyone.

Eye of the Storm     
http://www.musarium.com/eyeofthestorm/index.html  

For pure viewing enjoyment, this is a hard site to beat. We should caution you that half of the site consists of flash movies, and while it is viewable with dial-up, broadband is recommended. The films, and the accompanying Journal entries focus on the collection of water-colors and writings of Union private Knox Sneden. The site is professionally designed and implemented. Truly a pleasure to view, and certainly worth a visit.

EyeWitness To History     
http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/cwfrm.htm

A great site for Civil War enthusiasts and general history lovers alike (note that the above link goes directly to the Civil War section. You can navigate from there to other historical periods if desired). Attractive, useful site featuring primary accounts of events throughout history. The Civil War section currently contains a dozen incidents, including Shiloh, Gettysburg, the death of Lincoln, and more. Quick loading and easy to navigate, we truly enjoyed spending time here. Great job by the webmaster.

Fort Taylor     
http://www.forttaylor.org/  

There are times when simplicity is the best, and this site is a perfect example. Very nicely done site maintained by two Florida Park Rangers, it gives a clear and concise picture of the strategic importance of Fort Taylor. Various sections deal with the armaments, the men and the forts history in general. The picture gallery is extensive and well-done. A great job by the webmasters!

Freeman Markers Home Page     
http://home.comcast.net/~freemanmarkers/index.html  

This site receives a 5-star award for its uniqueness and concentration on a little-known subject. "Freeman Markers" were erected around Richmond in the early 1900's and their name comes from the fact that the text on most of them was written by Douglas Southall Freeman. This site documents them by pictures, text and an interactive map. Great site - well done!

Gen. John Bell Hood, C.S.A.    
http://www.johnbellhood.org/index.htm  

Love him or hate him, John Bell Hood was one of the most colorful and controversial figures of the Civil War. This gorgeous website does a top-notch job presenting his story. Beautiful aesthetics and deep research highlight the multiple sections, which include a multi-part history of Hood's time with both the Army of Northern Va. and the AoT. Whether you agree with the webmasters conclusions or not, you'll enjoy hours of enjoyable reading here. Great job!

Gettysburg Discussion Group       
http://www.gdg.org

This is the acknowledged king for all things Gettysburg related. The centerpiece is the Gettysburg Discussion Board, which can be joined from the main site. Hundreds (thousands?) of knowledgeable Gettysburg battle buffs, both amateur and professional, keep a lively discussion going constantly. Huge archives as well.

Great Locomotive Chase:     
The Definitive Story of the Andrews Raid    
http://www.andrewsraid.com/index2.html  

This is just a masterpiece! There's more information about a single subject here than we would have thought possible. Revolving around the now famous action between the General and the Texas, this site is based around the book "The General & The Texas: A Pictorial History of the Andrews Raid, April 12, 1862" by James G. Bogle and Stan Cohen. Run your cursor over everything - no telling what you may find. Don't miss this one!

Harriet Beecher Stowe Center     
http://www.harrietbeecherstowecenter.org/  

A gorgeous and well organized site sponsored by the HBS home and museum. It not only gives complete information on programs at the center but also a comprehensive look at HBS. Well worth a visit!

Historical New York Times Project     
http://www.nyt.ulib.org/read.cgi?type=contents  

This is simply a goldmine for both researchers and dedicated Civil War news junkies. Every issue of the New York Times spanning the years 1860 to 1866 - online and complete. Modem users beware however - these are very large images of the papers, and load time can be rough. Broadband users should have no problem. Pages are "zoom-able" for easier reading. Don't miss this one...and prepare to stay for awhile!

Impeachment of Andrew Johnson     
http://www.impeach-andrewjohnson.com/  

One of numerous websites presented by HarpWeek, this one looks at the impeachment of Andrew Johnson as seen at the time through the pages of Harper's Weekly. Features 90 editorials, 47 news features plus numerous drawings and illustrations. Very nice site!

Ironclads and Blockade Runners of the Civil War    
http://www.wideopenwest.com/~jenkins/ironclads/ironclad.htm 

A frequently ignored topic of the war, this site is a goldmine to the naval enthusiast! Very nicely put together, the site allows you to "tour" relevant naval attractions throughout the country. Technical specs and lots more can be found here. Just a wonderful addition to Civil War knowledge on the Internet!

http://www.mrlincolnandfriends.org/ 
http://www.mrlincolnandthefounders.org/ 
http://www.mrlincolnandnewyork.org/ 
http://www.mrlincolnswhitehouse.org/ 

These five websites would each on their own rate as an Editors Choice. We separate them only for convenience. They are presented by the Lincoln Institute through grants by the Lehrman Institute. They all share, besides a focus on Lincoln, a top-quality interface and thorough research. Combined, they amount to one of the most valuable tools for the study of Lincoln on the Internet.

Lincoln Log     
http://www.thelincolnlog.org/view

We love sites with lofty goals! The task? Track Abraham Lincoln - every day. This site, which is searchable by date or text, provides a chronological day-by-day account of the life of Lincoln. The website describes itself best - "The Lincoln Log: A Daily Chronology of the Life of Abraham Lincoln incorporates Lincoln Day-by-Day: A Chronology, compiled by the Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission with the cooperation and support of the Abraham Lincoln Association and published by the Government Printing Office in 1960. The text presented here includes all entries from that publication, with corrections and additions by the Papers of Abraham Lincoln, a project of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum." A first-class, well-done site.
