<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.

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]
