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."

Finding the Real Old Glory-- Part 4
I knew that "Old Glory" refers to the U.S. flag in general, but I always thought if it referred to a specific flag that would be the Fort McHenry flag.
I did not know anything about this particular flag (and the Smithsonian Magazine has a picture of it where it appears quite worn).
Well, Now I know. Thanks Smithsonian. --Old Secesh
