This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off.
Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

General Order 91 of 1864?
Medal of Honor winner Louis/Lewis Shepard transferred from the Union Army to Union Navy under General Order 91 of 1864. I have not been able to find any reference to it, but imagine it is was set up to increase manpower in the US Navy.
