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."

The Trial of John Yates Beall
Same source as last two posts.
** Major Bolles, Judge Advocate of the Military Commission.
"There was nothing of Christian civilization and nothing of regular warfare in Beall's operations."
** From General John A. Dix."The Proceedings, finding and sentence are approved and the accused John Y. Beall will be hanged by the neck till he is dead, on Governors Island, on Friday the 24th day of February, 1865. -- General Orders No. 17, February 21, 1865. Case of J.Y. Beall."
