The Civil War Today app
Quote:
Civil War Today is the brainchild of Tina Prause, the head of product development at A&E Television Networks. She’s the daughter of Revolutionary War re-enactors, she told me. She grew up loading black-powder rifles at restaged battles in Connecticut. Critics and users alike have praised the Civil War Today app, and Apple has knighted it an App of the Week. With the help of Bottle Rocket, the superstar Dallas-based developer that has created apps for PBS and NPR, Prause and A&E have managed with little fanfare to make from scratch a new approach to history, museology and pedagogy.

This is an excellent app. I especially like the daily diaries that follow the personal lives of a dozen or so individuals. Some may think it a bit expensive but compared to a book with the same information and without interactivity, it is well worth the price.

30 minutes or so of reading as you, day to day, follow the war. It will take you 4 years to see it all,
