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."

Another Soldier Killed at Camp Wildcat in His First Battle, Lewis McFerrin, USA
From the Camp Wildcat Preservation Foundation.
The Civil War lasted barely a month for Private Lewis McFerrin of the Union Army. He died on the morning of October 21, 1861, less than twenty minutes into his first battle.
He was one of fifteen men listed as killed at the Battle of Wildcat Camp.
I haven't been able to find out what Union regiment he was with.
