I’m sure someone has considered the impact of natural disasters on the Civil War, but apparently nobody has put forward a book length study of the subject. Perhaps that’s because there just isn’t anything to write about!
And that is not to say there is insufficient data. The US Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, National Weather Service (NWS), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) all retain mountains of historical data about these topics. The information is there, but perhaps there just isn’t much of a story to tell.
To The Sound of the Guns blog tells the story of the Civil War Hurricane seasons from 1861-1865 here.
