how about this

A blog of Nineteenth Century history, focusing, but not exclusively, on the American Civil War seen through the prism of personal accounts, newspaper stories, administrative records and global history.
A thousand tales. A miscellany. A maze of historical tangents.

Event

 This Saturday at the Museum of the Confederacy . . .
"For the fourth year in a row, a panel of distinguished Civil War scholars will nominate candidates for "Person of the Year" in their lectures, and the audience will have the final say by casting ballots for the most influential person of 1864. Who will join past selections Abraham Lincoln (1861), Robert E. Lee (1862), and Ulysses S. Grant (1863) as the next Person of the Year?"

"RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A new museum in Richmond that will marry the collections of two Civil War museums has a name.
The American Civil War Museum . . . name choice was based on market research and discussions among museum leaders."
