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."

MCCWRT March Discussion Group Meets Saturday, March 23: The End of the Confederacy and Davis' Run
This Saturday, March 23, at 10 am, the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group will meet at Panera Bread in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for our monthly meeting. Panera Bread is located at US-14 (Northwest Highway) and Main Street.
This month's topic is the end of the Confederacy concerning events in April 1865, leading to the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox and the escape of the Confederate government southward.
It is open to all, members and non-members. Anyone interested in history or the Civil war is cordially invited.
I will be talking about the role the Confederate States Naval Academy played at the end as well as Chester County, S.C.. See the next three posts.
