Status: offline 		The Grand List of Battles and Campaigns for Bio Writers (Alphabetical)
This list is taken from the Ezra J. Warner “Generals in . . .” books.
I'm still working on the chronological list and will post that as a reply when I finish it. Perhaps after that, I will have a campaign list with battles fought during the campaign.
As Warner's work was published by the Louisiana State University Press, many of the battles were called by their Southern names. I've used the Federal names where I've caught them. Also, if the battle went by multiple names, I have included them in parentheses.
It is possible there are a few typos. I actually corrected a few in Warner's orginial work.

I'm proud to say that at this point I have quite a few dates memorized, but Dinwiddie Court House and Olustee are not among them.

Status: offline 		This is an excellent help, but a good thing for us to do that would help each other would be to come up with information about the more obscure battles, so that we can note their importance without having to spend lots of time reading up on them. I've added one battle below -- since I was just looking at Floyd's bio -- and would suggest that whenever someone wants to update the list he simply copy it into a new post, and I'll then use my moderator powers to delete the old version of the list, so that this thread doesn't get too long.

Anyone who wants to chime in should feel free to do so -- you don't have to be a card-carrying bio-writer to contribute.

This is an excellent help, but a good thing for us to do that would help each other would be to come up with information about the more obscure battles, so that we can note their importance without having to spend lots of time reading up on them. I've added one battle below -- since I was just looking at Floyd's bio -- and would suggest that whenever someone wants to update the list he simply copy it into a new post, and I'll then use my moderator powers to delete the old version of the list, so that this thread doesn't get too long.

Anyone who wants to chime in should feel free to do so -- you don't have to be a card-carrying bio-writer to contribute.

Link: http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/abpp/battles/bystate.htm

Example:

Battle of Utoy Creek, Fulton County, Georgia: Atlanta Campaign (1864) Date(s): August 5-7, 1864
Forces Engaged: Army of the Ohio [US] Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield; Army of Tennessee [CS] Gen. John B. Hood
Estimated Casualties: Unknown

Description: After failing to envelop Hood’s left flank at Ezra Church, Sherman still wanted to extend his right flank to hit the railroad between East Point and Atlanta. He transferred John M. Schofield’ s Army of the Ohio from his left to his right flank and sent him to the north bank of Utoy Creek. Although Schofield’s troops were at Utoy Creek on August 2, they, along with the XIV Corps, Army of the Cumberland, did not cross until the 4th. Schofield’s force began its movement to exploit this situation on the morning of the 5th, which was initially successful. Schofield then had to regroup his forces, which took the rest of the day. The delay allowed the Rebels to strengthen their defenses with abatis, which slowed the Union attack when it restarted on the morning of the 6th. The Federals were repulsed with heavy losses by Bate’s Division and failed in an attempt to break the railroad. On the 7th, the Union troops moved toward the Confederate main line and entrenched. Here they remained until late August.

Result(s): Inconclusive

Great find!
That's a good reference. I like it and recommend it as a place to look up extra information about campaigns and battles. There are some battles listed with a firm outcome that were claimed as a victory by both sides, though. For those, a secondary source, such as Heidler's, would be a good backup.

Status: offline 		Thanks, Bill. I always try to check several sources to find the consensus of agreement, otherwise it can come back to bite you in a sensitive area. I am still trying to arrange my monentary affairs for the procurment of Heidler's. In other words, it is expensive for a po' feller down on his luck.

Status: offline 		The outcome of battles often was that both sides claimed victory and even historians today differ on some results. Antietam is a good example. There are people out there saying that the battle was a tactical victory for the South, others say it was a Northern victory as the Confederates had to withdraw from Maryland. Then there are those who combine the two and call it a draw as the Confederates held their line on September 17, stayed on the 18th but had to withdraw the next day. That is why one sentence describing the results is so important in the bios.
