Default Trivia Game # 40 - Week 5

Here are the questions for Week 5 of Game # 40.

21. Which Civil War battle claimed the life of the grandson of Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere?

22. Who was known as the “Daughter of the Confederacy?”

23. What national military park features a pond that is sometimes stained red to commemorate the men and mounts who bled and died in its waters?

24. During the Civil War, with hospital space in Washington D.C. at a premium, some wounded soldiers were hospitalized at the Government Hospital for the Insane in that city. Not wanting their families to know they were in an insane asylum, the soldiers referred to it by the name of a saint. What saint?

25. (Two point question) What sort of craft was the Intrepid? (Note – the answer must refer to a craft used by the Union or the Confederacy in the Civil War, not any other nation or conflict.)

Answers to the questions for Week 5 will be due by 6 PM EDT on Saturday, August 5.

Good luck!

A word of advance warning about Week 6. I will be away on vacation from Sunday, August 6, until Friday, August 11, so I will not be able to issue any clarifications during that time. I’ll try to post the questions for Week 6 early on August 5. Hopefully, none of them will be ambiguous, but if anyone wants clarifications, try to look at the questions early and submit your requests for clarifications as quickly as you can.
