Trivia Game # 51 - Week 2

Game #51 - Week 2

You may have noticed that most of my questions are about people. I try to find questions about places and things as well, but it always comes back to people.
An introduction to an old television program pronounced that "there are eight million stories in the Naked City”, referring to the then population of New York City.
There were thirty-two million stories in the Civil War, the approximate population of the entire United States (including the seceded states) during the war, and most all were involved or affected in one way or another. That’s why so many of the questions are about people.


Here are the questions for Week 5:

1. Located near the intersection of University Parkway and Charles Street stands a monument dedicated to that state’s Confederate Women. Nearby, just down the street, is another monument. This one is for a Confederate soldier who was a noted poet and who became of member of the orchestra of the city in which this monument stands. Name him.

2. After the war, this wartime Copperhead was killed while defending an accused murderer. His client was acquitted. Name him.

3. This town, located in a southern state, was founded by a former Union army drummer boy turned newspaper man late in the 19th century. A haven for aging Union veterans, it became the county seat of a county named for a former U.S. and Confederate senator. Name the town.

4. This man served in a state militia during the Revolutionary War. He married a relative of Mary Todd Lincoln, and founded a town where a major Civil War battle was fought. Name him.

5. This Ohio native entered the war with an Indiana infantry regiment and was captured 3 times (while a Captain in Dec, 1861; while a Lieutenant Colonel in Aug, 1862; and while a Colonel in Dec, 1862). He served under Logan’s 15th Corps from Vicksburg thru the end of the war. Post war, he owned and edited newspapers in his adopted state. Name him.


Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, February 23.
