This Question must be answered by 6am Thursday.

Well, as you may have noticed, I wasn't able to post on this board before now. We seem to be having alot of trouble getting things started. Hopefully today's question will get us back on the right foot.

Making a few changes to our trivia format, starting with this question we will use the old Subject naming convention, which contains the date that the question is asked on. Also, because I've run so late you get till Thursday to answer today's question. There will be a question tomorrow as well! Don't forget. If all goes well, it should be posted around 6:30am EDT

Here is your question:

What four notorious outlaws were members of William Quantrill's gang of Confederate guerrillas?

Here are the scores after yesterday's question:

5 SgtAbj
4 BelleTraveler
3 RaggedRebel
3 Crowbar
2 ConnYankee

RaggedRebel

Not sure which four you are going for here...If you want them as a group, it would be the Younger Brothers....Cole, James(Jim), John and Robert....

If you want the four Most Notorious it would be Frank and Jesse James and Cole and Jim Younger....

(and then there is always Bloody Bill Anderson waiting in the wings....)

Trying to cover all bases here as I am a little confused as to what you are specifically looking for... +=0)

Ah, finally, a morning where nothing went wrong! My cable modem works and everything! Here is your question for today:

When General William Bate was wounded at Shiloh, doctors insisted on amputating his left leg. How did Bate respond?

You have till tomorrow morning to answer this question. Yesterday's question is still open, both questions will be scored at the same time tomorrow.

Good Luck!

>>Bate: Forbade the operation, holding the Doctors at Bay, Holding two (2) pistols.<<

[raggedrebel]

He responded by holding off the surgeons with a pistol and having himself removed to the home of a relative in Huntsville, Ala. where he rested and waited till the wound healed.

RaggedRebel

[sgtabj]

He pulled a pistol and held off the surgeons...Then had himself taken to a relative's home to recover....(which he did)
