Trivia Game # 47 - Week 3
No players have summited questions, so your stuck with all mine.
Here are the questions for Week 3 of Game # 47
11. Name the four Confederate generals who were mortally wounded at Gettysburg.
12. This combative politician was a native of Virginia, but moved around a lot. He was a lawyer and newspaper editor in Alabama, then did the same in Mississippi where he also served in national and state offices. He visited Texas and wrote a history of that state. He moved to California for a time before returning to Mississippi. He subsequently moved to Tennessee where he was elected to Congress, where he was later voted to be expelled. His next moves were to Canada, London, Washington D.C., and New Orleans. His last move was back to Tennessee where he died. Name him.
13. The 100th __________ Volunteer Infantry had an unusual geometrically flavored nickname. What is the name of the missing Northern state, and what was the nickname, and why did the regiment have that nickname?
14. He was expelled from a military school when he challenged his instructor to a duel over a classroom dispute. He later served under that former instructor, and eventually became the commander of the brigade which was named for that former instructor.
Name this general (not the instructor) and the name of the brigade.
EXTRA CREDIT (one extra point): What very important distinction differed this commander from all the other appointed commanders of the brigade, as an independent unit?
15. This actor, who was the great-grandson of one of Abraham Lincoln’s cabinet members, played a Union soldier in a motion picture in which he co-starred with Elizabeth Taylor. Name the actor.
Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on July 28. Good luck!
