Game #50 - Week 5
Happy Birthday to Hoosier, our favorite Groundhog, on his 117th birthday! Hang in there Hoosier.
I don’t think my questions are getting any easier. I do think you all are getting better at finding the answers. I guess that would suggest I make the questions more difficult, fewer clues, etc. What do you think?
Here are the questions for Week 6:
1. In the summer of 1863, Union forces who needed to cross a bridge to meet Confederate forces were charged a toll in order to cross that bridge. Give the name of the bridge at that time, and the amount the Union forces were charged to cross the bridge.
2. This close relative of a co-conspirator in Lincoln’s assassination not only willingly aided in the apprehension of said co-conspirator, but also hired legal counsel for the defense of that same co-conspirator. Name the person (the relative, not the co-conspirator).
(Suggested by sockknitter)
3. What Civil War Major General’s legacy is most closely connected with Betty Crocker, a Green Giant, a Doughboy, and a Silly Rabbit?
4. This Pennsylvania native, a Captain in a cavalry regiment, was the only person of his profession to win the Congressional Medal of Honor (for an action in Virginia in 1864). Name him.
(Clue: The American College Dictionary defines the term occupation as one’s business or trade and notes that the term profession implies an occupation requiring special knowledge and training.)
5. A close associate of William Quantrill and a Colonel of a Missouri Cavalry regiment, he was killed in a September, 1862 battle. Name his famous great-grandfather.
Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, February 9.
Good Luck!
