Time to begin a new game. Rules for Game # 45 will be essentially the same as those for Game # 44. New players are welcome to join the game at any time, but the first week of any game is always an especially good time.
Here are the questions for Week 1 of Game # 45.
1. Prior to the Battle of Shiloh, what general boasted “Tonight we will water our horses in the Tennessee River?”
2. Maps issued to Civil War field officers were sometimes printed on what substance other than paper?
3. What Union general was nicknamed “The Pathfinder?”
4. Who served as chief-of-staff for Union general William Rosecrans at the time of the Battle of Chickamauga?
5. (Two point question) Who were the only two foreign-born (i.e., born outside the United States) Confederate officers to rise to the rank of major general? (You must name both to get two points. No partial credit will be given for getting one but not the other.)

On question # 2, please try to be as specific as you can in naming the substance. For example, an answer of "wood" will be considered insufficiently specific - if you think the maps were printed on wood, you have to tell me whether they were on pine, oak, maple, or some other specific type of wood.
Similarly, an answer of "stone," or "cloth," or "metal" would be considered insufficiently specific - if you think the maps were printed on any of those, you have to name the type of stone or cloth or metal on which the maps were made.
