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."

John Beall's Hanging Noose-- Part 2: The Others
The other three men hanged with the same noose as used for John Yates Beall's execution:'
Nathaniel Gordon referred to as a pirate and slave trader.
Albert W. Hicks referred to as the last person executed for piracy in the United States.
William Henry Hawkins for the murder on the high seas as Captain Adams.
I found articles in Wikipedia for the first two men.
