I've been hopping back and forth between a couple of websites this evening, and now I can't remember whether I already posted the answers to this week's questions or not. (Terrible the way your memory goes after you get to be 117, eh, Sam? )

Anyway, just to make sure, I'm going to enter my answers now. Sorry if this is a duplicate post.

1. Earl Van Dorn INCORRECT

2. Thomas W. Knox

3. Baltimore Police Chief George Proctor Kane (Hmm, well, I'll accept this.)


4. James A. Bailey

5. Horace Parnell Tuttle

Answers for week 4:


In retrspect, I realized that I had inadvertantly encouraged you all to enter all sorts of curses into your search engines! Sorry about that. Now you are probably cursing me.


1. Brig. Gen. Ben (Benjamin) McCulloch
