21. What was the real name of the violent Southern soldier who occasionally called himself “Charlie Hart?”

Answers to the questions for Week 5 will be due on Saturday, October 28. I expect to be on the road that day, so will not be able to approve the posts and update the scoreboard until the following day.
Because I’m so late posting the answers this week, the deadline for appeals will be extended to 6 PM Wednesday, Nov. 1.
With one week left to play in Game 42, SamGrant and Robert B. Condon remain tied for first place in the First Division, each with perfect scores of 30 points. Rad2duhbone53 maintains a slim lead in the Second Division, but Texaswildcat has crept to within one point.
The answers to the questions for Week 5:
21. Charlie Hart was an alias used by William Clarke Quantrill.
22. Daniel Hough was the unfortunate soldier killed by an explosion after the attack on the fort had ended.
23. Isaac Trimble was the Marylander who caused the bridges to be burned.
24. Carl Schurz was the Prussian who eventually became Hayes’ cabinet officer.
25. The 51st Pennsylvania received a keg of whiskey, in addition to having their whiskey ration restored. Gen. Ferrero had previously cut off their whiskey ration as punishment for some infraction. As the 51st PA and 51st NY prepared to try to cross the bridge where several other attempts had failed, one of the 51st PA’s soldiers asked Ferrero if they would get their whiskey back if they took the bridge. Ferrero replied, “Yes, by God!” and was more than true to his word.
