William Scott, Company K 3rd Vermont Infantry. And, I cheated and looked it up. I suppose that is cheating?

Edit - No, it is certainly not cheating. Players are allowed to use any and all resources at their disposal to help them find answers to questions in the trivia game. If you know an answer off the top of your head, great, but the rules don't require that players answer every question purely from their own knowledge.

The trivia game is run not only as a competitive game but also as a learning tool. If, as the result of a trivia question, you learn something about the Civil War that you didn't know before, the game has achieved its purpose.
