I write Civil War fiction. My research kept sending me back to the NPS Civil War Sites Advisory Commission data. So I turned it into a free app anyone can use.

Each battle page shows what happened, the order of battle by side, and the tactics. It also notes what technology, if any, shaped the outcome. Battles show both names where the two sides disagreed, so "Sharpsburg" finds Antietam. Search tolerates typos. Where a dedicated book exists, the page lists it. Maps come from Hal Jespersen's cwmaps.com collection where available.

One honest limitation: the source data covers Union unit rosters far better than Confederate ones. Only about a third of battles carry Confederate unit lists. That gap sits in the record itself, and the app discloses it rather than hides it.

It asks for an email to enter. That funds nothing, it just lets me send an occasional note.

This is the first edition of the App. I am open to improving the app based on sound suggestions. I welcome your positive suggestions.

While I am waiting for my second book, "Antietam: Secession to the Bloodiest Day," to be released, I've been working on a new app. Do you have a Civil War ancestor? Muster Roll accesses the 6+ million database of Civil War Veterans and makes it quickly available to everyone. It is new and may still need some tweaks. Try it, abuse it. Then let me know what you think. Be kind. Have fun. https://bit.ly/tfo-muster-roll-app
