Let the Pilgrimage Begin, CWT Reunion in Gettysburg Weekend of Sept 16th thru Sept 18th. 2016

[Bee]

That's the one.
I did it between 11 AM and noon so I expect lighter traffic in September at 8AM.

Most Excellent

I have an idea. Now that the offical countdown to our September Pilgramiage has begun, who would like to sharpen up on their Gettysburg knowledge? Say a trivia question posted by our hosts pertaining to their tour or tours? What say you?

 

[Bee]

What say you?

On a separate thread: yes!

 

[War Horse]

I don't care. This one or another one makes no difference to me. I may start the ball rolling right here. The first KIA of Heth's infantry was?

 

[PeterT]

I'm on Gettysburg! As you might say down here ... "Go you good thing!"

 

[PeterT]

My wife will only bet on a grey horse,here goes another two bucks.

And the other 3 grey horses in the race run 1st, 2nd and 3rd!! Gettysburg led and then got the stitch! His stablemate wins!

Heck of a run for Gettysburg.

 

[PeterT]

My quick research tells me he is a grey horse, who will most likely be up front setting the pace. So watch his stablemate Creator ... same trainer, same owner. The favourite Exaggerator is a very good horse and should win. But with horse racing you never know. Now I'll have to watch it out of interest

Oh no! I didn't follow my own advice! Typical ....

No takers? I'll say this, its not what you would think. The answer will surprise you!

I had to search for it. Is this it?

"The first Confederate casualty was Henry Raison of the 7th Tennessee, who had fallen as the Rebel advance began."

PeterT. It was a trick question. The first casualty was a dog. A mascot of an Alabama unit. Sorry my friend.

I knew you there was a catch! But I couldn't find anything that was tricky. You are sneaky!

It's in "The Devil to Pay" by you know who!

Of course! Now to purchase an autographed copy from you know who in September!

He actually makes the outcome suspenseful. Even though we all know how it played out. You will love it.

Wow way to call it! When you are in town in September you and I are going to have to take a side trip to the track my friend.

 

[Bee]

Is it practicable @cash ?

This is another "hobby" of mine. An expensive one too (.... don't remind my other half). A horse I co-own and bred ran a bold 4th last Friday. Shows promise.

Can you take that hill First Sergeant Bee?
