Trivia Game # 60 - Week 4
Here are the questions for Week 4 of Game # 60
1. When a train carrying over 800 Confederate prisoners on their way to a northern prison camp collided with a freight train, a telegraph operator (possibly intoxicated) was determined to be responsible. Approximately fifty of the prisoners and at least sixteen Union soldiers were killed. Where (be specific) did this accident happen?
(Thanks to lauren777)
2. Graduating first in his class at West Point, he was most responsible for the Union Army's maps during the Atlanta Campaign. Name him.
3. A nineteenth century Supreme Court case named for an anti-war Northerner has in recent years been invoked in regard to a modern day case of a Guantanamo prisoner. Give the full name of the anti-war Northerner for whom the high court case is named.
4. In the Union Army, what was the standard prescribed daily amount (in pounds) of fodder required for a horse?
5. There is no evidence that he had a secret recipe or discovered a new world, but this Georgia Military Institute graduate who was wounded at Spotsylvania and captured at Saylor's Creek didn't loose his head in battle. It was finally lost at Green and Washington in 1936. Name him.
Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, May 16. Good Luck and happy Mother's Day!
