Subject: [ROOTS-L] Searchable Civl War News - 1861
Sender: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com

Hi all,

Each day during 2005, I published public domain articles from 1861 to my web
log (also know as a blog) "Chronicles of the American Civil War"
(http://www.pddoc.com/cw-chronicles/).

The blog currently has over 4400 posts, mostly news articles from 1861.  It
also includes diary entries for most days, one from a clear in Washington,
the other a clerk in the Confederate capitol.

The blog is fully searchable.

At the top of each page in the blog there is a Google search box.  It is
configured for searching the blog, though, by selecting a different button,
you can use it to search the web.

As a test, I picked a word from today's RootsWeb email and searched the blog
on that word.

The word was "Watertown."

The search found three items with that word in it:

CARTRIDGES at the United States Arsenal at Watertown, Massachusetts. ...

The blog is my database that I used for material for my e-journal,
"Skedaddle."  I have stopped publishing "Skedaddle" in order to have time to
pursue other interests.  

However, it is my intent to continue to add material to the blog on a daily
basis.  Today, I will be posting material from January 21, 1862.  (The blog
currently has material from January 1, 1861, through January 20, 1862.)
