Judith Henry
When the Union army arrived on Henry Hill during the afternoon of July 21,1861 and began to set their cannon up they soon began to get shot at from the Henry House. Confederate soldiers were using the house to protect themselves as they shot at the advancing Union Army.
In an attempt to make the southerners stop this fire.northern gunners turned two of their cannons on the house and opened fire.although they successfully drove the snipers out of the Henry House,they also mortally wounded Mrs.Henry.She would die of her wounds that night and the day after the battle,southern troops buried her there,in front of her house.

Well, I'm back from vacation, and wow, look at all this work that needs to be done!

I'm going to skip all the formality so I can get a few things done here at home. Here is your trivia question:

What made General Nathan Bedford Forrest's victory at Okolona, Mississippi, on February 22, 1864, a bitter win?

I'll try to score everything else later tonight. Next question will be posted tomorrow at about 7 am.
