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."

John G.B. Adams and Pine Grove Cemetery in Lynn, Massachusetts-- Part 1
Whenever I write about a person and find out where they are buried, I like to go to that cemetery site and see if anyone else of interest is buried there. This is part of my "Road Trippin' Through History."
