One of the things that Prof. Blight mentioned in the Yale course was that the American Civil War is the most written-about event in world history. Over 65 thousand separate books have been published about it, not to mention any number of articles, monographs, etc.

By my reckoning, that's 1.2 books published per day since the end of the war.
