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."

What They Said About Sheridan's Statue
The 10 Facts article had four comments, so I figured to take a look at them, thinking at least one would want the statue taken down because of what he did to the Indians.
#1. Sheridan's desk that he used during the 1864 Shenandoah Campaign can be found at North bend, Virginia, which was his headquarters. Today, it is a B&B
#2. Take it down. Participated in the genocide of Southerners and Native Americans sits on public land."
#3. Great commander. Too bad people of Albany don't know about their connection with him.
#4. "The monument should be taken down because it is a symbol of racism, hate, genocide, and crimes against humanity against Native Americans. It is an embarrassment to the state of New York."
Sounds Familiar. --Old Secesh
