Correct. Extra cinnamon cake if you can tell me who sent the message, to who it was sent, and what warning it contained.

Sure missed that one bad. I thought it was Pete Carroll to Russell Wilson just before THE BOO-BOO Play of the century.

Awesome! You got it!

The message was sent at First Manassas by E.P. Alexander to Nathan Evans warning of the Federal flanking maneuver via the Fords to the Confederate left. It was sent via the Wig-Wag signaling system that Alexander had helped develop before the War and was the first use of that system in battle.

This makes me think of Gettysburg where Tom Chamberlain is walking along talking of Butterfield and the bugle calls.

I started reading a book about Sickles and it made me sick I just couldn't finish reading it.

Just saw this. Was it a pumpkin pie? A donut?

I must not have been playing trivia when this was asked before. My final answer is one Williams patent cartridge or "cleaner bullet".

I think I found it!!! Woo Hoo I hope so.
Do I get a like? Do I? Do I?

I saw something about it on the Dug Today -Franklin on CWT.

Doesn't sound like the soldiers like them as it seems they were often found as "drops"
