Old Hero Disobeyed Orders to Save Northern Cities

Commodore John Martson details how disobeying Navy orders to send the Monitor to Washington allowed Worden to defend Newport News and thwart the Merrimac.

Rights in the Road Farm Deed and Public Use

A historical note explains road ownership and public rights. The farmer owns the soil to the road center but public travel priority remains.

A remark on fencing and eventual reversion if a road is discontinued. Includes quip about Sheridan and a drunkard’s bottle label.
