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."

Congress also gave its thanks to these Union naval officers:
** Admiral David G. Farragut
** Admiral David D. Porter
** John L. Worden, who commanded the USS Monitor in its epic battle with the CSS Virginia.
** Captain John A. Winslow, commanded the USS Kearsarge in its battle with the CSS Alabama.
