I did try looking it up on the internet and did not find the pattern. Think I just need to take that first step ....

You will notice in a lot of patterns named for period events - Civil War, Underground Railroad, Rebel Brass, Union Blues - the blocks can be any block the designer chooses to put such a name to.
They are not necessarily truly etched-in-stone historically correctly named, and not necessarily FROM that era.

Thank you, everyone, for all your ideas and comments! Yes, it does sound strange to use a computer program for a civil War pattern, just not quite 'right'. Well, now to see what I can do....:).
