Today is the 160th Anniversary of Pickett’s Charge.
Today is the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Remember the Fallen. Many of our boys were injured and fell those three days. July 1-3 1863
Clean a monument!
June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabama’s loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.
Today is the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Brandy Station. This remains the largest Cavalry engagement in North America. Real History!
“On Friday, June 5th, and later on June 8th, Stuart conducted massive cavalry reviews near Culpeper. Hood's Division attended both events; General Lee attended the latter.
A Southern soldier-reporter in Hood's Division said of the June 5th equestrian spectacle, "It was an imposing sight. One hundred and forty-four companies passed in review in the most splendid order. I counted twenty-six stands of colors, exclusive of those belonging to Stuart's horse-artillery. After the review there was a sham fight, in which the artillery fired over one hundred and sixty rounds, and the cavalry made several brilliant charges. The horses were generally good, and everything indicated a good degree of discipline. Many ladies, blooming in health and beauty, were present. Gen. Hood marched his whole division out to witness the review." Robert Lee Hodge
Picketts Charge - Picketts second wife was Native American. Her name was Morning Mist and she was Haida Indian.
We Hope your Memorial Day was memorable. Remember the Fallen every day.
Does this quote apply today? We could learn from Southern sympathy.
The “carpet-bag” governments, with their grotesque legislatures, plundered and helped to plunder the States, and, not content with stealing all that there was to steal, by means of fraudulent issues of bonds thrust their rapacious claws into the pockets of unborn generations.
Amazing ironclads! And guns from the Navy Yard! Zoom in for details of each gun

General Patton along with Theodore Roosevelt had Confederate Ancestry. They never harbored any ill will against Southern Monuments and Reconciliation. Honor the fallen.
Lee was not obsessed with rank like most re-enacting units today. He wore a colonels coat.

Relics of the CSS Alabama. The Alabama had so many Yankee kills that they ended up with several fancy flushing porcelain toilets. One shown here. The ships wheel was inscribed with the phrase. “God helps those who help themselves”. Captain Raphael Semmes freed a slave from Delaware they had captured on a Yankee vessel and made him part of his crew. REAL HISTORY
