... my wife and I were bartering on who had to do the dishes. She (jokingly) grabs my Civil War Trivia book and flips it open to a random page. If I get all the questions right - she does the dishes. If not...
The topic?
Stones River
Who was the Union.... "William Rosecrans."
Who led the Confeder... "Braxton Bragg"
What state was... "North Carolina"
What was the name of the Union Chief... "Garesché"
What geographical point did the Confederate attack flounder... "Round Forest"
Who led.... "William B. Hazen"
Who led the Confed... "John McCown" [erate attack on the Union flank?]
WRONG! She says, "William Hardee."
No amount of explanation in the world would get me out of doing the dishes.
Gentlemen.... surely I was right!
