Here are the questions for Week 4 of Game # 41.
16. What, other than a married woman who stayed at home, was a “housewife?”
17. Nine out of ten named conspirators thought to be involved in Lincoln’s assassination were arrested within two weeks, with four of them being hanged, but the tenth conspirator fled the country via Canada and England and was not arrested until some time later (in Alexandria, Egypt, of all places). Who was the tenth conspirator?
18. Name either of the Union cavalry regiments that took part in the capture of Jefferson Davis on May 10, 1865. (You may name both if you want to, but if you do, you must get them both right.)
19. What general was killed by a sharpshooter shortly after reassuring his men that “they couldn’t hit an elephant at this distance?”
20. (Two point question) On Fort Hill, west of the city of Pulaski, TN, some of the original fortifications that the Union Army placed there during the Civil War can still be found. An officer in the 9th Indiana Cavalry (who would eventually found a well-known corporation) was stationed there at one time and the fort was temporarily named for him in late 1864. Who was this officer?
Thanks to SamGrant (who will be out of town and unable to participate in the game this week) and Richard (who looks in on the game but has yet to participate) for supplying a couple of the questions this week.
Answers to the questions for Week 4 will be due by 6 PM EDT on Saturday, September 9.
Good luck!
