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."

Famed 'Battle of Atlanta' Cyclorama Secure in New Home
From the July 2017, America's Civil War.
One of the world's largest paintings was successfully moved to its new home in February 2017.
Because of its age (131 years) and weight (five tons) and length (more than 100 yards) this process took two days to move nine miles from Atlanta's Grant Park to the Atlanta History center in Buckhead.
It was cut in two and wound around two custom-made steel spools.
In this refreshing in this age of the new destroy anything having to do with Confederates.
