Odds & Ends is a recurring set of clog entries which covers recent news and posts of interest on the web. In addition to the Civil War blogs, I’ve also subscribed to several phrases which allow me to find some interesting blog entries and news stories involving the Civil War. I’ve decided to create an on-again, off-again series of posts called Odds & Ends which will collect some of these entries.
Take a look at some of the recent items of interest I’ve found recently:
