Taking advantage of a little down time, in Avenue of Armies: A Supplement to the Page County Civil War Tour Book, I’ve added an interactive “living feature” of one of books, Avenue of Armies: Civil War Sites of Luray and Page County, Virginia. Since publishing the book in 2002, a few sites have been moved, some destroyed, and some face possible destruction. Likewise, without creating a second edition, I want to use the Web to recognize sites that I was unable to cover in the original work.
Thinking along the line of Craig’s “Marker Hunting” in “To the Sound of the Guns,” consider this new “information compilation blog” a “HS w/o HMDB” site (aka “Historic Sites without Historic Markers Database”) 🙂
So, why add another blog? Actually, I see this more of a “micro-blog,” or the use of the blog format to post stuff that applies to other areas of my interest in the Civil War. To borrow a phrase from George Carlin… it is yet another place to “put my stuff.” I don’t go into it with the intent of adding new posts daily, weekly, or monthly… new stuff will be added as I come across something new. The “hub” of activity remains centered here, in “Cenantua’s Blog.”

One of these days, we are going to run out of space in the blogosphere. When that happens, we’ll know who to blame….:-)

At least I’m relatively “Web-green” in my use of darker pages, and thereby using less energy! 😉
