TOCWOC (The Order of Civil War Obsessively Compulsed) is a group Civil War blog formed in September 2007. Our purpose is to enlighten and entertain readers on every aspect of the Civil War, whether it be Social, Political, Military, or other history. TOCWOC will feature a wide variety of blog entries. Some of the proposed topics include book and game reviews, a focus on Civil War period individuals, author interviews, information on book and game publishers, battlefield trips, preservation, teaching the Civil War, and much more. All of the authors of this blog are “informed amateurs”, Civil War buffs who do not focus on the Civil War in our day jobs, though some of us are closer than others to achieving that status! We encourage you to use the categories we’ve set up to find the posts most interesting to you. Once you’ve found those posts, we welcome and encourage comments as well. Let us know if you like the format and look of the blog, and feel free to give us suggestions for improvement. Lastly, we hope you have as much fun reading as we do posting!
