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 American Battlefield Trust-- Part 2: From APCWS to CWT to AMT
A second non-profit battlefield presentation group, the Civil War Trust, was created in 1991. This group was able to acquire and preserve 6,700 acres of land in the eight years of its existence.
On November 19, 1999, the APCWS and Civil War Trust merged to form a single organization, the Civil War Preservation Trust.to streamline and strengthen efforts. On January 11, 2011, the name was shortened to just the Civil War Trust (CWT)
On Veterans Day, November 11, 2014, the CWT partnered with the Society of Cincinnati (hereditary group of officers of the Continental Army) to save endangered American Revolution and War of 1812 battlefields.
