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 2
A huge turnout is expected for the July 3rd marchto commemorate Pickett's Charge at 3 PM.
Gettysburg National Military Park typically gets 1.2 million visitors a year and will easily break that mark this year with its 16-day anniversary period which ends July 7th.
David Runyon, 59, of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, had his great-great-great grandfather, Union soldier Thomas Thombough, badly wounded at the Wheat Field. Then his ancestor was taken prisoner and died in a Virginia hospital.
Lots of History There. --Old Secesh
