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."

Seven Rebel Graves Designated a Cemetery-- Part 3
The 13th participated in these battles in Louisiana during the war:
Lake Providence
Fort DeRussey
Mansfield
Pleasant Hill
And in Arkansas at Jenkins Ferry.
The majority of the regiment's 145 fatalities during the war were from disease. Only eleven came from enemy fire.
Those at Camp Blair were forgotten until just recently
