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."

Civil War Trust Nov. 2018 Calendar: Battle of Chicamauga
Civil War Trust 2018 Calendar.
Picture of two cannons somewhere out on the battlefield.
CHICKAMAUGA, GA.
141 acres saved
Site of the second bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the Chickamauga battlefield today encompasses more than 5,300 acres.
Here, Union General George Thomas earned his sobriquet "The Rock of Chickamauga."
The Trust has preserved 141 acres at this landmark place, including land at the site of Reed's Bridge -- one of the battle's opening actions.
