The last two days, I have posted two blog entries on my Saw the Elephant Bloh http://sawtheelephant.blogspoy.com regarding aspects of the Civil War that involve the state of Missouri and, important for us roadies, have something to do with Route 66.
Saturday, I wrote about the Lee and Grant exhibit which will be at the Power Museum in Carthage during September and a part of October. The Missouri Route 66 Association will be visiting this place during their annual motor tour in September.
Today, i wrote about the marriage of Ulysses S. Grant and Julia Dent in St. Louis at her father's home, the site of which is now a parking lot for Busch Stadium.
I understand that the Missouri 66 Association is planning to have a future tour concentrating on the Civil War in that state.
Missouri and the Civil War. --Old B-Runner
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
