Trivia Game # 38 - Week 2

[hoosier]

ewc, I thank you for posting the link to this very interesting article. The author makes some very good arguments in support of the contention that Col. Weygant was Crane's inspiration.

I thought about this and thought about this. Unfortunately, I finally decided I just don't think I can give you credit for your answer, because the question specifically asked for the name of a general, and I can find nothing to indicate that Weygant ever attained that rank.

I have asked Robert B. Condon, who prepared the questions and answers for this game, to provide his source in support of Gen. Van Petten. If he is willing to reveal it, I will post it on this thread after I get it.

Here is Robert B.'s source. You may have to scroll around to get past the popup ads so you can actually find the article you want to read. The information about Van Petten is near the end of the article about Crane.
