Hey! Nice job with all the posts on Campfire chat and such. How many of you forgot that there is more to CivilWarTalk then just trivia? Keep up the good work!

TODAY, Tuesday, the 14th, is the last day for Trivia Game #15. Tomorrow we will start a new game! However, I will be away in Virginia on Vacation, from Wednesday evening till Sunday afternoon. This means I'll be posting FIVE absentee question for you tomorrow, and you'll get FIVE days to answer those questions.

As a bonus, and because I want more message board participants, I'll give anyone who brings in a new recruit to the boards, and has that new recruit answer at least three of the five absentee questions, THREE BONUS POINTS!

I also want to return home to see lots of message board posts around the rest of the message board. With some luck, I'll be bringing some new recruits back with me from Vacation, and I want them to see an active message board!

One last thing, I haven't seen any bonus essays yet, so if you plan to submit one for bonus points, you better submit it before 7am tomorrow!

I'll try to get updated scores posted tonight, and again tomorrow morning, so you'll get to see who wins and who has high scores.

Yesterday's Question: What was the USS Keokuk attacking when it sustained enough damage to sink? Fort Sumpter.

Here is Today's Question, Worth One Point:

Who preached the sermon at Abraham Lincoln's Funeral?

Expect the next trivia question to be posted tomorrow at about 7am EST. Please post your answers to this question before that time. Thank you!
