<font face="Andale Mono"><font size="4"><font color="pink">Gentlemen, just saw this tonight and thought I'd share it!

<i><b>Julia Ward Howe, </b>inspired after seeing a review of Union General George McClellan's army in the Virginia countryside near Washington, D.C., composed the lyrics to what song? It was published in the <b>Atlantic Monthly</b> in 1862.

<font color="beige">Oh boy, I am beginning to regret having made this post! Now Ernie is thinking that he is crazy and sane at the same time! I would guess that one could make that a case for all of us! At least he got the song right which I didn't know before hand.</font id="beige">

</i>Respectfully,

The Rebs were charging the Yankees across a field, towards a railroad embankment. The sides were exchanging fire . . . Then right on to the battlefield, and right <b>between</b> the contending sides, chugged a railroad train, making a scheduled arrival.

What battle did this happen in? Hint: neither Jeb Stuart nor the prelims to 2nd Bull Run is in the correct answer.

Hey Ernie the only reason you knew the answer is that you still have you copy of the Atlantic Monthly. What it cost you five cents.[:)]

Bump this topic back to the top.

So . . . no one even has a guess, eh? Did I really stump everyone?

The composer of "Greensleeves" is unknown . . . unless somewhere there once lived a fellow named "Traditional English Aire."

I went to school with a Lad with Ayre for his Surname . . . .

Alas! I don't think there were any "Traditional", "English" or "Traditional English" in the Family! [:o)]

Sounds like a case of "Major Major Major Major" to Me. [:p]

God Bless Joe Heller! [:D]
