Trivia Game # 52 - Week 5


Here are the questions for Week 5 of game #52:


1. Some sources say he was a former First Lieutenant in his state’s 93rd Infantry. The fact is that he made several photographs of that unit. Post war he made photographs of the American West. Probably his most famous photograph was made on the battlefield at Gettysburg. Name him.

2. This Englishman received the “Thanks of Congress” in 1865 for his rescue of the captain and several sailors of a sinking warship in 1864. Name him.

3. A native of a Caribbean Island, he attained the rank of Colonel in the Confederate army. He may be best known as the commander of artillery in a November 1864 battle in which the Confederate forces were outnumbered by 4 to 1. Name him.

4. First published in 1861, it was written by a USMA graduate, a cartographer and civil engineer who was appointed brigadier general on August 17, 1861, and who post-war was a park commissioner and served a single term in the U.S. Congress. The instructional book was published both in New York City and Richmond, Virginia, and was used by both armies. Name the Author and the title of the book.

5. She is buried with (between?) her two husbands, one a Brigadier the other a Major General. Name her.

It took a while to investigate some of your answers, especially on #5 where no one gave the answer I was expecting, but we had some great, but not correct, answers from Oxkern and Sockknitter, and one exellent answer from Gay Mathis!
On #1, by the way, I have found that some of the same photos of the 93rd New York Infantry are attributed to Gardiner at one website and to O'Sullivan on another. I found no evidence that Gardner may have been a 1st Lt. in that regiment or any regiment, while I found 2 or 3 sources for O'Sullivan.

Maybe someone can tell m how to put that little tick (Whatever it's called) over the 'e' of Jose.


Big Congrats this week to Gay Mathis for a perfect score in a tough week! (and for providing the second correct, and maybe better, answer to #5.)
