This is new information to me, and I’m picking this information up from the Blue and Grey Education Association on a quick blurb they did on FaceBook. Their author, Barbara Noe Kennedy wrote some short articles on haunted Civil War places.

This is what is new to me: She said that even the Department of Transportation has declared that Bloody Lane at Antietam is haunted. I have never heard that. I mean I believe it is haunted, I have never heard of the DOT declaring...

Secret tunnels, hidden treasures: 200-year-old mansion used as Civil War hospital​

WASHINGTON, N.C. — At first glance, the Elmwood 1820 seems like a classic bed & breakfast in a historic mansion. However, the 200-year-old manor holds many secrets inside its walls.

The first two floors of Elmwood 1820 offer spiral staircases and antique hardwood, with grand guest rooms and a southern-style wrap-around porch. The third floor, however, still bears markings from the 1860s, when it was used as a makeshift hospital for soldiers during...
Help!! 1863/1870 Allin with incorrect barrel.

I have an 1863 Springfield rifle with the 1870 Allin trap door conversion on consignment. The owner wants to sell it but I have no idea where to begin price wise. I knew something was off immediately due to the shortness of the forestock and the fact that the barrel is octagonal. Am I correct in assuming the original barrel was probably damaged somehow (maybe after a resleeve?) and replaced with this barrel? Has anyone seen anything like this? Is it junk or unique? Thanks!

rouble, I’m In Trouble
(a song parody to “Dancing Cheek to Cheek)

Trouble, I’m in trouble.
In Kentucky, I’m surrounded, can’t retreat,
and I don’t know how to win can’t face defeat.
Is my time for fighting Rebels now complete?

Trouble, I’m in trouble
I’m so unsure and feeling rather weak,
and I’m asking Bragg for numbers, things look bleak,
Need advice so it’s the enemy I seek.

I go to visit Buckner,
He’s been through this before
he knows when one is down and out,
he’ll show me what’s in store

Although I came with blindfold,
I see his many men,
it’s time to take my losses,
and live to fight again.

Trouble, I’m in trouble,
A prison cell is now from where I speak,
but I’ll serve...

The American Civil War

The American Civil War, arguably the most traumatic event in the history of the United States, was fought from 1861 to 1865, and was the culmination of sectional issues which deeply divided the country between a pro-Federal government North and a pro-states rights, in the pro-slavery South, whose eleven states formed a breakaway government called the Confederate States of America. The costliest war in terms of human lives, the American Civil War claimed in excess of 620,000 battle or disease-related deaths - roughly two percent of the country's total population, and nearly more deaths than all other American wars combined.
