The average score on this quiz is 5/10.

I scored 9/10
( I thought one of the questions was very poorly written and missed their "correct" answer)

 

[SWMODave]

9/10 - the question I missed has been debated on this forum prior

 

[Booner]

Maybe after this quiz has run it's course we can compare answers? I wonder how Non-Missourians will do?
Thanks for taking the quiz and posting your score.

 

[Lusty Murfax]

Missed No. 10

 

[alexjack]

I got 7.

 

[Patrick H]

I also missed #10. I don't have an excuse. Which one did you miss, Booner?

 

[donna]

I got six right. I really should have done better.

 

[Cavalry Charger]

I got 7/10. I didn't think the question on how many people he killed was clear (even though I got it right). It could have meant the raid, or overall.

7 of 10.

 

[58th Virginia]

I only got half of them, but there again although interested, I really don't know him that well.

Just for the record, which one was it? I'm guessing this one (which I also got right by default):

I got 7/10. I didn't think the question on how many people he killed was clear (even though I got it right). It could have meant the raid, or overall.

 

[Booner]

Wow! Thanks for participating everyone. Let's let this run a little longer then we can discuss what we got wrong ok?

 

[nc native]

I was 7 for 10. I should have done better than that however.

These quizzes are good to take. Makes me want to learn more and study different parts of the war and different places and people. I was confused by number killed question and where he was taken in Ky. I knew he died in prison in Louisville, Ky.

You are correct. The question was poorly written. But let's not blame that on Booner. He didn't create the quiz. He only forwarded the link.

I got 9/10 but find the one I missed seemed debatable to me

If he was referred by his contemporary superiors as colonel in dispatches........I'd say he was a colonel..........

Very insightful of you, Donna, as we shall soon discuss.

Archie, did they really refer to him as a colonel, or did he request the commission and then refer to himself as a colonel? What did Richmond say? I honestly can't answer my own questions, but I know that he was recognized as a captain.

 

[archieclement]

I'd have to go back and look it up, but pretty sure there were confederate dispatches by his superiors discussing him during the winter of 63/64 and they were referring to him as Col Quantrill, so wouldn't be just him making the claim, but that it was apparently recognized by his superiors.

To me Price is more collaborating evidence, But in the T-M Kirby Smith would/should have been the ultimate arbitrator on rank..........
