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."

There is a mystery as to why he resigned on June 29, 1862 (shown as being discharged July 4, 1862. The answer is put forth as to possible regimental politics.
He is buried at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.
