Trivia Game # 53 - Week 4



Here are the questions for Week 4 of Game # 53

1. This Civil War general was named for a dental patient of the general’s grandfather, both of whom were famous Revolutionary era figures. He served in the U.S. Navy for over 20 years and also briefly served in the Mexican army. Wounded at Manassas, he was court-martialed for leading his troops away from the fighting in a major 1863 battle. Name him.


2. A New Hampshire native who commanded a brigade at Gettysburg, and had predicted his own death at that battle, was known for his distinctive headgear. Describe his headgear.


3. Who was for a short time a commissioned officer in both the Union and Confederate armies? (See clarification below)


4. In what Supreme Court case was it finally established that the Constitution did not allow states to secede from the Union?


5. How many U.S.C.T. regiments marched in the Grand Review of the Armies May 23-24, 1865?


Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, June 6. Good Luck!

A player asks "does that mean he served for a short time in the one army, and then later served for a short time in the other army?"

This is a good inquiry because often some words not used in a question are as important as the words used in the question.

In this case, there were words I did not use purposely, but there were other words I did not use, but probabably should have.

While I won't answer the player's inquiry directly, I will say that the words I should have used but did not use, were "at the same time" (or "simultaniously").

So Question #3 should say:

"Who was for a short time a commissioned officer in both the Union and Confederate armies at the same time?"
