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 4: The Seven
The seven Texans buried at the Camp Blair Cemetery in Arkansas are:
James W. Gillespie and Kinchen J. Stokes from Orange County
H. Jackson Rawls, James W.A. Smith and Charles W. Wright of Tyler County
Henry H. Tucker of Anderson County
Samuel B. Gilliland of Angelina County
Members of the Barton Camp SCV will provide upkeep of the cemetery They hope that one day the descendants of these men will be found and will visit the site.
