A calendar you read, not just check.
Every month pairs a painting with the month it belongs to. Fort Donelson in February, Appomattox in April, Gettysburg in July, Antietam in September, Fredericksburg in December. The date the painting depicts is marked on the grid below it.
Then the page keeps going. Each month carries the painting's full credit and a quotation from someone who lived through the war. December prints Sherman's telegram to Lincoln after the March to the Sea: "I beg to present you, as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah."
The grid itself is filled in. 90 dated entries across the year. Battles, surrenders, secessions, amendments, births, deaths, and every federal holiday.
April is filled with events. Petersburg falls, Lee surrenders at Appomattox, President Lincoln is shot and dies, Booth is killed, and Johnston surrenders, twelve entries in one month.
More than a date-keeping tool: a year-long almanac of the war that remade the United States, on a wall-sized sheet you'll actually stop and read.
