I said I would dig around and see if I could come up with something that would again stimulate the mind, and give pause and cause to think awhile, so here on some more questions. Let's see how many of you in our beloved little group are in the know... Copy and paste with your answers.
 
1.  Where was the first CW monument erected and in
     what year?
 
2.  What year was the very first Confederate Blue Backs
      issued and what were they valued at?
 
3. At which battle did Robert E. Lee's horse Traveller rear
     up, thus saving his and the General's life?
 
4. What particular thing is Mary Todd Lincoln's brother
     and three sisters noted for?
 
5.  What notable battle did the Confederates hold out
      against U.S. Grant and his Federal forces for six
      weeks in early summer of 1863?
 
6. The "Rebel Yell" was supposedly heard for the very 
     first time at what battle? Give the month, day, and
     year also.
 
7.  The South's first major offensive effort, which occured
      in 1862 at Sharpsburg was likely lost due to what
      contributing factor?
 
8.  How much Confederate currency was distributed
      during the WBTS?
 
9.  What year was the UDC founded and where?
 
10. What color are my eyes? (HA HA Gotcha)
