Game #50 - Week 1
Happy New Year!!! Yea!
Time to start a new game, a great time for new players to join in the fun! Ha!
Here are the questions for Week 1:
1. This Mexican War veteran died a little over three years after the end of the Civil War. Best known as an explorer, trapper, guide, and Indian fighter, he was brevetted Brigadier General “for gallantry” in a February, 1862 Trans-Mississippi battle which was a Confederate victory. Name him.
2. This relative of former president Zachary Taylor was also an Indian Chief. As a colonel, he commanded the last Confederate unit to surrender in his native state. Name him.
3. In this March 1863 battle, 3500 Confederates serving under a notorious cavalry raider attacked a 1300 strong Federal force. In this six hour battle, the Confederate troops, fighting dismounted, encircled the Union position, but were held off, suffering over 10% casualties. Name the battle.
4. During the war, this horticulturist became the White House gardener and steward. Name him.
5. The name of this his Virginia geological feature, which was a result of “stream piracy”, may provoke a ‘stifled laugh’ or appeal to your sweet tooth. It was the site of several comings and goings of the armies throughout the war. Name it.
