Happy New Year and 2578th Post

I first posted on this blog in 2007 when it became evident that so much of my Down Da Road Blog was dealing with the Civil War, my very first big interest I acquired while growing up. I named it Saw the Elephant after the Civil War soldier term for when they saw battle.

I later broke the Running the Blockade Blog off of this one when I saw that I was writing so much about the naval part of the war.
