Thanks to a recent comment from a reader, I was directed to check out a website called TimeLines.  This website is pretty cool for education and it allows you to “Discover, Record and Share History” via TimeLines.  You can view the numerous timelines that have already been created or you can create you own timeline.  You can also add descriptions, quotes, photos, videos, links or locations to a particular event in a timeline.  While the site is simliar to a wiki, it does state that, “Unlike a wiki, the site is built to display various (and potentially conflicting) descriptions of the same event from many different contributors.”

Of particular interest to me was the Civil War Timeline.  This particular timeline starts with the birth of Nathaniel Greene in 1742 and concludes with the death of Jefferson Davis in 1889 and includes everything in between.

So, head on over and check this site out.

Until next time…
