The McHenry County (Illinois) Civil War Round Table met July 24, 2022, at Panera Bread in Crystal Lake, Illinois, with the topic being "Lee and His Generals."
I prepared a quiz to get us on going.
I was looking for nicknames, what the initials stood for and in what decade they graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Good luck.
1. Old Jube, Old Jubilee
2. Old Wooden Head, Sam
3. What did the A.P. in A.P. Hill's name stand for?
4. What did the D.H. stand for in D.H. Hill's name?
5. Old Jack, Bluelight
Answers below.
