i need a timeline of events happening in the west during the civil war.?

Answer 1

Here is a link to a brief timeline- http://www.sparknotes.com/history/american/westwardexpansion/timeline.html
It actually covers all of the "Western Expansion" period, so you'll have to jump to 1861-1865 to get what was happening during the Civil War.

And this PBS timeline includes Civil War events, as well as events in the west. http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/events/1860_1870.htm
