Scourge of War Boards

In order to somewhat give this forum a kick-start, I've decided to try something out. Many of you from the old MMG Boards should be familiar with the Civil War Trivia, which is the idea behind this thread, the catch being the questions all being centered around the Gettysburg Campaign (for obvious reasons). Let's see how this holds...



As a starter, somewhat easy just to get people involved, 'What Union regiment fought at the wheat field behind a stone wall, sometimes fighting alone for periods of time before finally being pushed back?'

Oh God! You mean I actually have to ready my 6 Gettysburg book AGAIN to find the answer?:laugh: Wasn't it a regiment in De Trombs Brigade (I'll look up the actually regiment later.

17th Maine?

John Brooke?

That's the guy. And the rock is just a stone's throw from the 17th Maine wall from the last question.

I have one how exactly did Hancock receive his wound on the 3rd Day.

Was it splinters from his saddle when the bullet hit?
