About This Blog

The Maple Leaf Incident is one of the most fascinating, and relatively unknown
events of the Civil War.  I came across references to it when I was working on the
genealogy of my husbands great-great uncle John Webre, Jr., who was a prisoner
aboard the ship.  Since that time, I have had an obsession with finding out everything
I can about the events of this amazing venture.

I will be adding information at every opportunity I can find.  In addition, I am adding
a page for each Confederate officer who was aboard the Maple Leaf.  Please feel free
to make comments or add information in the comments.  If I am able to use any of your
knowledge in the blog, or if you are a family member with information or photos, I will
be happy to add that as well.

Thank you for visiting...
