Running the Blockade: Hinton's History-- CSA Galleries Closing

Some New News About an Old War. The Civil War, that is.


1. HINTON'S HISTORY-- Back in January, Darby Hinton was filming an episode on Fort Fisher, NC. His father is a native of Wilmington and Darby enjoys the area, but has not been back since the 1965 Azalea Festival..

Darby Hinton played the role of Israel Boone in the old Daniel Boone TV series and currently does a weekly program on a family on a mission to learn more about historic sites and events of the world.

Very handy that this was also the weekend of the Civil War re-enactment and anniversary celebration at the fort. WECT-6 TV, Wilmington, NC.


2. CSA GALLERIES CLOSING-- the South Carolina Senate leader, Glenn McConnell and his brother Sam are closing their store in North Charleston, SC, which they have operated for 20 years. They specialized in Confederate collectibles, but, there is a chance that they will continue selling items on the internet.

Some items are now at 50% off, but I did not see any great prices on their website.

Could this have something to do with pc?
