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."

War of 1812 and American Revolution Battlefields Saved By the Civil War Trust
Theses are War of 1812 and Revolution battlefields saved by the Civil War Trust, or American battlefield Trust as it is now known. These are in the Civil War Trust 2018 Calendar.
From December 14, 2018.
June: SACKETS HARBOR War of 1812 24 acres saved. The successful acquisition of Horse Island near Sackets Harbor, M.Y., in 2017 marks a significant achievement for the Civil War Trust's Campaign 1776 initiative, as the 24 acre island was the first War of 1812 battlefield land to be preserved by the Trust.
Sackets Harbor is the site of the 1813 American victory that prevented a British invasion via Canada. Not to mention its being a major American naval base.
Of course, I have a whole blog devoted to the War of 1812, so I am kind of interested in it.
