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."

From the March 28, 2019, Sheridan (Wyoming) Press "Camp of Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) Chartered."
There hasn't been a camp in Wyoming for a long time, but there is one now.
The charter was signed by Commander in Chief Donald W. Shaw in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and was approved by the Commander of the Department of Colorado and Wyoming William Buvinger on November 18, 2018.
The charter was presented and officers sworn in at the Fort Caspar Museum on February 23, 2019.
The SUVCW is a fraternal male heritage organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of veterans who served in the Union military. Organized in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1954, the SUVCW is the legal heir and successor of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) formed in 1866,
