One of the Civil War sodier Twitter accounts is https://twitter.com/#!/PvtEbenECorliss. It not the original one I saw but still interesting.

Twitter used to tell aMinnesota Civil War soldier's story

Fergus Falls, Minn. (WDAY TV) - Some of the greatest historians of the Civil War likely never dreamed social networking would play in a role in telling a soldier's story. But in Fergus Falls, the museum has just launched a fascinating project that connects you with a Civil War soldier from Minnesota. Through Twitter, you can get tweets taken from a diary that started this week, 150-years ago.

Good Morning Gena,

I left a message in the chat room, but guess you had already left.  Can you tell me what they found.  I may have the info but don't know what was found.  mkinch@aol.com

Sincerely,

Mary J. Kinch
