Rene Tyree, who Walt Garp would call a gradual student in military history, has a new blog, Wig-Wags. I’m not adding it to the blog roll just yet. We’ll wait a little while and see what she has to offer, but it’s looking good so far.
Rene has set up her blog to keep the mass of information coming from [her] coursework and research organized and to plug into the rich conversations in the blogosphere on this topic [the Civil War]. Good luck with that…just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware [that’s Cat Stevens, but good advice nonetheless].
I see too that Rene, like me, is using her blog as something more and setting up some pages for various sorts of information (biographies, etc). I think we’ll be seeing more of this in the sphere as time goes on.
The current image in the Wig-Wags banner – keeping in mind these things change – is a photo of the Union signal station on Elk Ridge during the 1862 Maryland Campaign. The officer in the photo has been identified and a CDV of him located. You can see the CDV and read the story on the Save Historic Antietam Foundation (SHAF) website.
Harry,
Thanks for the mention. I’m enjoying getting into the rhythm-of-the-blog.
Still chuckling about FNG status! Got it! LOL
Take care…
Rene,
From over yonder where the wig wags

Rene,
While FNG is not a term of endearment, it is derogatory of a person’s circumstances more so than of his or her character. Everybody is an FNG at some point.
