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."

Gen. Robert A Cameron-- Part 1: From Indiana
From Wikipedia.
Last week (Feb. 26), I wrote about this man being buried in the Greenwood Pioneer Cemetery in Canon City, Colorado along with Amanda Matilda Colburn Felch, a Civil War nurse.
Robert Cameron was born in 1828 and died March 15, 1894.
American soldier, Union general, publisher and did a lot for the development of Colorado.
Born in Brooklyn, New York and family moved to Valparaiso, Indiana, in 1842. Graduated from Indiana Medical College in 1849 and then went to Rush Medical College in Chicago, but gave up his medical career.
