Updates from the Civil War: National Park Service “Reporter” Tweets Coverage

The Civil War Reporter, an engaging new feature on the National Park Service’s website, offers daily dispatches from reporter Beglan O’Brien, a (fictional) Civil War era correspondent. The website is part of the National Park Service’s commemoration of 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

“From politics to eyewitness accounts, O’Brien’s nose for news delivers fascinating updates, reporting on the people and events of the times,” said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. “We hope this ‘real-time’ reporting will give modern day Americans a unique insight into the war as O’Brien follows the story wherever it takes him, from assignments embedded with Union and Confederate soldiers, to covering President Lincoln at Gettysburg.”
