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 44th New York at the Battle of Gettysburg
From the New York Unit History Project.
The inscription of the Gettysburg monument:
"The 44th under Freeman Conner held position about 100 feet in front of the monument from about 5 p.m. July 2 to about 11 a.m. July 3, 1863.
"313 engaged- killed 2 officers, 24 enlisted; wounded 5 officers (one died) and 75 enlisted of which ten died. Total loss 106.
"At noon July 3 placed in reserve where they remained to the end of the battle."
A Hard Fight. --Old Secesh
