Late in 2019, the American Civil War Chronicles blog was reset to before the beginning of the civil war. From that reset, it will be publishing civil war related material, primarily, but not exclusively, from 160 years ago for the current date. For instance, posts for January 5, 2020 include letters from Alexander H. Stephens and Robert Toombs dated January 5, 1860.

(The book is a compilation of previously unpublished material from the 1860s. The copyright term for unpublished material is 70 years after the death of the author, so the individual letters and diary entries are not copyrightable. However, the selection and arrangement of those letters and diary entries into a compilation is protected by copyright. Use of selected material from that compilation would not be an infringement of copyright.)
