NCrawler Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Since Madmatt likes trivia...Which famous general was born in Little Rock, AR, and has a park in downtown named after him? ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 NCrawler, Your 'Ike' answer was also incorrect, Wrong War pal!!! heheh Might as well use this thread (With your permission of course ) to re-post my question... What famous general always signed his comuniques (messages, dispatches etc... You know what I mean! ) like this: Your Obedient Servant, xxxxxx x=the guys name! p.s. Ncrawler, yours has me stumped at present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 NCrawler, Hmm how about Mac Arthur Park on 9th and McAlmont Street? Got mine yet? Madmatt out....And chuck full of useless information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted November 5, 1999 Author Share Posted November 5, 1999 I'm re-reading Citizen Soldiers by Ambrose and Montgomery used words similar, but not exactly the same as Your Obedient Servant. I have seen this quote somewhere though, perhaps the Civil War? If it's from WWI, NO idea whatsoever. Douglas MacArthur is correct... ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 NCrawler, You are getting warm my friend....Funny I am re-reading 'Band of Brothers' from Ambrose myself. Something about CM makes me suddenly want to indulge into my WW2 book library all over again! Madmatt out, and uncontested trivia King! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted November 5, 1999 Author Share Posted November 5, 1999 Ok trivia king. Where were the two largest battles of the Civil War, WEST of the Mississippi River, fought at? ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Lets see, one has got to be Pea Ridge, let me think a bit on #2. Madmatt out, gears are cranking.... p.s. Praire Grove perhaps? hmm, doesn't sound right though....Don't hold me to either answer just yet....My brain just ain't firing right yet...Hmm maybe Westport (can't remember that one being all that large though) Damn, you would ask a question on the West!

Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Hmm, is Corinth West of the river? I think it is, ok how about Pea Ridge and Corinth as my answers... Madmatt out....And still trying to kick the ole' brain into 'think mode'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Preacher, Close OH so close...Come on guys! You can do it....Do I need to post hints? Madmatt out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 No. Corinth is in NE Mississippi, east of the River. Is the answer to your question Longstreet? Preacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Then it must be Stonewall. (i think ) Preacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted November 5, 1999 Author Share Posted November 5, 1999 Your first guess was correct Madmatt, Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove, both in Arkansas. Madmatt>Damn, you would ask a question on the West! Well, seeing as how I am from and live in Arkansas... ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted November 5, 1999 Author Share Posted November 5, 1999 Scott Clinton on the other thread guessed Robert E Lee... ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Yupper, Bobby Lee it was! Hey NCrawler, I am just poor ole' Yank from Ohio and you are throwing them 'West' Questions at me like that! I was unprepared and everything! Heh, how many people have even HEARD of Praiere Grove! Well ok, if you are a ACW history nut then I guess you would! No more Trivia for me, I gotta retire undefeated! Just like CM (soo far!) Madmatt out, and on top!

Guest Scott Clinton Posted November 5, 1999 Share Posted November 5, 1999 Anyone recal how George Washington signed his letters? I seem to recal it was something like that also (to reflect the fact that he was subservient to the congress). And for the record my answere of R. E. Lee was not a GUESS... ------------------ The Grumbling Grognard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 6, 1999 Share Posted November 6, 1999 Scott, Hmm, I think it was something along the lines of "Your humble servant," But I may just be remembering that from the 1776 musical! Madmatt out, of key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
