The NY Times is doing a series on the civil war, started October 30, 2010, with the news of October 31, 1860. I got the impression from the introduction that there would be a weekly roundup of news articles from the New York Times and other papers from that week 150 years ago, with occasional essays, so I signed up for the RSS feeds through Google Reader - but it seems like some days I'm getting one, two, or three updates per day. Well, they're short, and so far fascinating. I am not a Civil War buff, but I'm enjoying the analysis.
If you are interested, the series starts just before the election, here:

To get to the next post in the series, don't go to "Next Post" at the bottom. Instead, you can step through using the "Related Posts" at the center bottom. They are listed sequentially.
