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."

And Some More on the Army Gunboat Smith Briggs
From the March 26, 1863 New York Times on the new gunboat Smith Briggs.
"The new gunboat Smith Briggs (Capt. LEE, of the Ninety-ninth New York, commanding) received her guns at Fortress Monroe yesterday, and commences her services at once."
