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."

"Up the Street Came the Rebel Tread" and Winston Churchill
A little later today, I will write about Winston Churchill and FDR riding through Frederick, Maryland, in 1943 on their way to Shangri-La (now called Camp David). Churchill was a huge fan of American history, of course, and wanted to see the home of Barbara Frietchie, because of that famous poem.
It is an interesting story, so check it out in my Tattooed On Your Soul: World War II blog.
