		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m happy to report success in updating our underlying blog software to the current version of Word Press this afternoon. I&#8217;m slightly embarrassed to tell you this is the first upgrade since the original installation of nearly four years ago.

As I&#8217;m sure you know by now, the excellent web gallery Generals of the American Civil War is offline.

Iron Antietam plaque
A correspondent has asked us to identify this interesting object, recently purchased. She has heard it may have been something people put on houses that survived the War &#8211; perhaps especially in or near Sharpsburg.
