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."

MCCWRT Discussion Group Meeting Nov. 25: The Black Experience in the War
The McHenry County Civil War Round Table Discussion Group will meet Saturday, November 25, 2017, at the Panera Bread Company at 8000 Northwest Highway (US-14) in Crystal Lake, Illinois, from 10 a.m. to noon.
The topic will be the Black Experience in the Civil War.
I will talk about Ann Stokes, U.S. Navy nurse and first black woman to receive a Civil War pension. I will also talk about the movie "Glory."
Looking Forward to It. --Old Secesh
