Western naval impression

03-15-2012, 08:43 AM

Gents,
Is there anyone else out there doing, or interested in doing Western Theater (US/CS) Naval? This is such a lost part of the history and particularly here in the TENN/MISS region needs to be told. Thanks.

Already do that, but up here in Indiana. Will be at Shiloh, though. You might find out if there are any USNLP members in your area - I know there was one in Nashville.

"The publick give credit for feat of arms, but the courage which is required for them, cannot compare with that which is needed to bear patiently, not only the thousand annoyances but the total absence of everything that makes life pleasant and even worth living." - Lt. Percival Drayton, on naval blockade duty.

"We have drawn the Spencer Repeating Rifle. It is a 7 shooter, & a beautiful little gun. They are charged to us at $30.00. 15 of which we have to pay."
William Clark Allen, Company K, 72nd Indiana Volunteers, May 17, 1863
