Default Trivia Game # 44 - Week 1
Happy New Year to all trivia players. If you've played the game before, welcome back, if you haven't, now's a great time to start.

Here are the questions for Week 1 of Game # 44.

1. What nickname was given to the 1st Kentucky Brigade, CSA?

2. What Civil War general ordered the advance that came to be known as the Mud March?

3. What was the first name of the inventor of the Spencer repeating carbine?

4. When the Federal Army of Virginia was created in June 1862, who was named to command it?

5. (Two point question) What Confederate general was mortally wounded at the Battle of Bristoe Station?

Answers to the questions for Week 1 will be due by 6 PM EST on Saturday, January 13.

Good luck!
