Campaign Weather

The sunrise and sunset times come from (Cottom’s Edition) Richardson’s Almanac, 1861…Calculated by David Richardson, of Louisa County, VA (Richmond: J. W. Randolph, [1860]).

For more precise sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset information, visit the the U. S. Naval Observatory site.

The Naval Observatory provides historical sunrise/set and other illumination data on their site – http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php

But…. according to the Observatory, the data you sited is off by five minutes.

The source for the Richmond sunrise/sunset times is (Cottom’s Edition) Richardson’s Almanac, 1861…Calculated by David Richardson, of Louisa County, VA (Richmond: J. W. Randolph, [1860]). So it seems these were predicted times.

Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.
