I see by the post counter that this is the 2008th post since I began this blog back in 2007 as an outgrowth of my history blog, Cooter's History Thing. Then, the Running the Blockade Naval Blog grew out of this one.
Saw the Elephant was the expression Civil War soldiers used when getting into a battle. As far as I know, it was used on both sides. The Old Secesh sign off I now use (used to be Old B-Runner or Old B-R'er) uses the name many in the Union derisively called Southerners because of their seceding, secesh.
This one now covers any aspect of the war I find interesting and occasionally gives vent to what I consider attacks on my heritage.
