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."

Historic Confederate Home Torn Down in North Carolina
From the July 24, 2018, WDBJ Channel 7, CBS, news.
The home of Lt. Robert Bond Vause, killed at the battle of Fort Anderson in 1862, has been torn down. It was also the headquarters of Confederate General Robert Ranson, Jr..
It was seriously in disrepair and would have cost too much to repair.
It was in the Wyse Fork Battlefield in Kinston and once a candidate for the NRHP but no longer met the requirements.
