Came across this series on YouTube and figured this group might be interested. Their goal is to cover as many engagements of the war as they can in chronological order. The most recent video is on Corinth.

Was curious what everyone thought about these videos. The quality improves as the series progresses. There are a number of mispronunciations, but this is common in YouTube historical videos.
Historically oriented YouTube channels - particularly ones that make use of animated maps - seem to be on the rise.
This channel seems to be taking a page out of the excellent and very popular The Great War and World War Two YouTube channels and presenting the war week by week in real time. It's on Shiloh. I must confess I have not viewed any of the episodes yet. Has anyone been following?

Of course, the obvious risk with YouTube history is that the presenters are not trained historians and may make mistakes both in regards to facts and interpretation. But if they do a good job - like the team behind The Great War and World War Two channels - it's an amazing new frontier in historical content.
