Well, I didn't fool anyone this week, did I? To all of our players - bully!

With one week left in Game # 40, Robert B. Condon continues to hold a commanding lead in the First Division, while Rad2duhbone53 clings to a one-point lead in the Second Division.

The correct answers, as if I needed to tell any of you, were:

21. Gettysburg. Col. Paul Joseph Revere, an officer in the 20th Massachusetts, was mortally wounded there.

22. Jefferson Davis’ daughter, Varina Anne Davis, born in 1864, was known as the Daughter of the Confederacy. She grew up to be a novelist.

23. The “Bloody Pond” is at Shiloh.

24. St. Elizabeth. The site of the hospital was part of the old St. Elizabeth land grant. Congress formally changed the name of the hospital to St. Elizabeth’s in 1916.

25. The Intrepid was an aircraft. Specifically, it was one of the Federal observation balloons used by Thaddeus Lowe during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign.
