Trivia Game # 60 - Week 5

Trivia Game # 60 - Week 5



Here are the questions for Week 5 of Game # 60


1. Of four brothers who were Confederate colonels, 3 of the 4 were born at Fredericksburg Va. and 3 of the 4 (not the same 3) were VMI graduates. Two younger brothers of the colonels were Confederate lieutenants, and their youngest brother participated in the Battle of New Market as a cadet at VMI. Give their surname.



2. It was a source of a gunpowder component for the Confederacy and a source of inspiration for The Man in Black. What is it?



3. Tucson First? (ha, ha, ha)

The doctor was not the first to find the meteorite, but it was his idea to send it to the Smithsonian Institution - where his collection of birds also ended up.
He performed a "first" at the Shiloh battlefield, but it was another action that he performed 14 months earlier and over 1300 miles away (not far from where he found the meteorite), that was the first for which the greatest honor is awarded. Name him.



4. What professional Ice Hockey team is named for their state's Civil War soldiers?



5. The son of a former U.S. Senator, he graduated last in his class at West Point. He served on the staffs of Generals James Ronald Chalmers and James Edwin Slaughter. Captured aboard a blockade runner in 1863, he was exchanged in 1864.
Name him.



Answers are due by 6pm (eastern) on Saturday, May 23. Good Luck!

I'm already having nightmares about what the players might answer to #4.

So I am pre-clarifying the question to limit it to Professional Ice Hockey teams, so if you answer "Saint Louis Priory Rebels", for instance, that would be incorrect.

I have amended the question accordingly.

1) Patton
2) If Johnny Cash is your man in black, I'm going with FIRE. He had his 'Ring of Fire' and fire is needed to make charcoal - a component of Confederate gunpowder INCORRECT (an imaginatve reach tho!)

5) Harold (Little Solon) Borland
Larry Gebing

I know sarladaise is on holiday in Paris. Sockknitter may be as well. With the nice weather folks tend to drift in and out. I'll be going away for a few weeks myself, so we'll split up game #61 into two 3 week sets of questions
before, then after, my getaway. A week off now, then #61 will start on June 6.



Here are the scores after Week 5 of Game #60:

FIRST DIVISION

Sarladaise - 19
natek1029 - 9
Rad2duhbone53 - 0
Susan Sweet - 0


SECOND DIVISION

lauren777 - 24
Larry - 20
Oxkern - 19
Sockknitter - 17
Hoosier - 13
kate_09 - 4


Thanks for playing. See you next week!
