My latest hand drawn Civil War map is of the Escambia River and Pensacola Bay, August 1864. I used two primary source maps to create this one. Dept of the Gulf Map No 47 and the 1857 A&F RR survey map. It is drawn 3/4 inch to a mile and is 18” by 48”. #usct #escambia #map #civilwar #pollard #penink

Another cool exhibit at the Redlands Juneteenth celebration was a mobile African American museum made up of tripods with large pieces of thematic topics. It was set up so that you could walk through it like a museum. Doug and I had our picture taken at the entrance. #africanamerican #blackhistory

One of really cool things they had at the Redlands Juneteenth celebration was a booth where people sat across from each other and painted portraits. This is Private Paulino and the painting someone did of him. Pretty cool. #usct #buffalosoldier #buffalosoldiers #juneteenth #juneteenth2025 #✊🏿 #🦬

Happy Juneteenth! 160 Years ago today, U.S. Major General Gordon Granger issued a series of orders at his newly established headquarters at Galveston, Texas. His third (G.O. No. 3) announced to the public the abolition of slavery based upon the Emancipation Proclamation. #juneteenth #juneteenth2025

Over spring break I had the opportunity to visit the Glorieta Pass battlefield in New Mexico. I highly recommend taking the detour to see this place. It makes for a beautiful hike in the mountains and is part of the Pecos National Historic Park.
