Trivia Game # 54 - Week 4

Hot, hot, hot here in the city. Maybe 100 on Monday!

By the way, for those of you who haven’t yet, please post your pin in the members map and let us know where you all are. Member’s Map? This will take you to it: http://civilwartalk.com/Home/Members_Map And it’s fun to use the satellite view and zoom in on just where your fellow members live (a tree-house?, a potato patch?).

Ami also reminds me that many of us do the forum, but neglect other good parts of the website. Click on “Site Map’, at the top of any section, to find many other features.


Here are the questions for Week 4 of Game # 54

1. During the war, if one was drunk, he was sometimes said to be “shot in …” what part of the body?

2. One a Confederate, the other a Federal, these brothers were mortally wounded on the same day at the same battle, and were treated at the same hospital before they died. They are buried side by side in a Northern state. Name them.

3. He first served under John Hunt Morgan, then on the staff of Gen. A. P. Stewart from 1863 till the end of the war. He later wrote a book about the war which was first published in 1906. Name him.

4. He was the son of a famous explorer. A West Point graduate, architect, state legislator, and Mexican War veteran, he was an artillerist in the western theater, and post-war became the commandant of cadets at a state military school. Name him.

5. At Sharpsburg, Stonewall Jackson asked for a volunteer to climb a tree to reconnoiter Union troops concealed from view by a rise in the ground. Give the name of the soldier who volunteered and climbed the tree.
