My name is Edward Ludlow Hines, father of Duncan Hines

[ami]

1. Quaker Guns
2. CSA General Joseph Johnston used them in Centerville, VA, against General McClellan (March, 1862)
3. CSA General P.G.T. Beauregard used them in Corinth, MS, against General Halleck et al, to successfully save his army in retreat (May, 1862).
4. USA Colonel Edward Canby at Fort Craig, February, 1862 - according to Wikipedia: "On Fort Craig's massive gravel bastions were mounted "Quaker guns" . . . . . . this impressive ruse squelched (CSA General Henry) Sable's plans for a direct assault on Fort Craig. Furthermore, Sibley did not have the heavy artillery necessary for a siege against the heavily fortified and defended fort". Colonel Canby would be promoted to Brigadier General in March of 1862 after the Union victory at Glorieta Pass.

Edit - My compliments to those who got the correct answer to the bonus question. That was a tough one.

It is appreciated when players who submit questions include links to sources that support their official answer. In this case, I note that one of the sources given is a 34-minute video.

I guess it's OK for a question submitter to submit a link to such a video for the benefit of anybody who wants to watch it. I would say, however, that if any player answering a question submits a link to such a video in support of their response, it's highly questionable that I will spend the amount of time necessary to see if the video really does contain verification that the answer is correct.
