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."

Freeman Conner of the 44th New York-- Part 1
The next person our Ellsworth presenter mentioned was Freeman Conner, who he said was lieutenant colonel of the 44th New York eventually. He was wounded twice during the war at the battles of Fredericksburg and the Wilderness.
He commanded a brigade in the valiant defense of the Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
At this point in the presentation, Doug Dammann was just showing pictures of these men and saying a few things. I am doing a more involved research.
