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."

Wofford College in the Civil War
Back on December 26, 2017, I wrote about Wofford College defeating the defending National Champion University of North Carolina in basketball, a huge, huge upset. And, UNC was ranked #5 of the time. No ranking for little Wofford College, which is in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
I also wrote some about the Wofford during the Civil War. Here is some more stuff:
** "Southern Guards" unit was on campus.
** Many of the students and alumni served in the Confederate military. (Hopefully, if there is a marker on campus for them, there won't be any Confederate-haters demanding their removal.)
** At least 36 of them gave their lives.
