I originally started this blog to expand on my Civil War Instagram posts. You know, longer versions of stuff I was already sharing. But honestly? It feels very redundant. And nobody is reading these blog posts anyway most likely but for maybe the one person who is… thank you!

I don’t want this to be a place where I just copy/paste captions and dress them up with extra paragraphs like it’s a school paper. That’s boring. For you and for me. Maybe I’ll do it once in a while but for now I have other plans.

This blog is now just me, Tyler, yapping. Rambling. Thinking out loud about weird Civil War stuff, underrated regiments, flags I like, generals I love (or don’t), and whatever else is rattling around in my head that week. Just me, you and history. I guess I’ll still share this to my instagram stories to make sure people see it, but I don’t think I’ll tie the posts to this anymore. It’s becoming a lot of work for not much benefit. Like I said in the past I’m not doing this for money so I just want to do what’s fun and what seems to get people engaged which does not seem to be happening.

If you’re into obscure facts, wild stories, personal takes, or just want to hang out with someone who’s way too into 1860s America, welcome! You’re in the right place.

First topic: I am not even sure yet. I guess as we go along and my brain starts stewing I’ll figure it out.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make this fun again. Also feel free to message me on instagram or email at Tyler@bluevsgray.com for recommendations or anything.

Thinking about doing voice over videos and maybe a podcast but not too sure on that. My voice is annoying as hell and I am a better writer than speaker.
