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."

Visitors Flocking to Gettysburg for Sesquicentennial-- Part 1
From the July 2, 2013, Yahoo! News, AP by Genaro C. Armas.
Educational programs, one at Little Round Top, which usually attract maybe 50 people, had an overflow audience of more than 500.
Valerie Johnson, 72, of Stockholm, New Jersey, has visited Gettysburg ten times, but never on July 2nd, the anniversary of when her great grandfather, Mansfield Ham, of the 20th Maine was wounded in the thumb at Little Round Top.
