From the Collin English Dictionary.
In te last post I mentioned Minute Guns, a term I was unfamiliar with.
A gun fired at one minute intervals as a sign of distress and mourning.
Also used at a military funeral ceremony.

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."
