Battle of Wounded Knee?

We are searching for the name of a man, obviously an American officer. There was no officer named Wounded Knee in the 19th century US army (and I doubt there was ever after).

Ok then...

I'm sorry. I guess my last commend sounded harsh rather than funny. However, as a name of a person is in question (the one who claimed he could ride through Sioux country with 80 men) the answer Wounded Knee was really unlikely.

No you're respomse wasn't harsh at all. It's just that humor and sarcasm don't translate well to thew screen. "Ok Then.. was simply me thinking of a different answer.

I already gave you one name of the battle (lodge tail ridge) but it became much more famous under a name including the name of the person in question.

Feterrman(Sp)? He was the Captain of the group

Captain William Judd Fetterman indeed is the man asked for. The battle became best known as the "Fetterman massacre".

What was the Name of the short-lived California Republic?

Bear-republic? With the bear still being in the Californian flag?

Name at least two US presidents who were wounded (but not killed) during assassination attempts.

Nick22 · **Reply #352 on:** May 19, 2005, 07:57:47 PM

ReAgan and Teddy Roosevelt.

Malte279 · **Reply #353 on:** May 20, 2005, 02:49:30 AM

They are the two I have been thinking of as well. Your turn Nick.

OF the 4 president who were killed, Who died the soonest, and who hung on the longest?

Malte279 · **Reply #355 on:** May 20, 2005, 11:59:51 AM

I think Kennedy died the soonest with the official time of his dead being something about half an hour after the shots were fired at him (and it is questionable how much life was left in him after the fatal head shot).
Abraham Lincoln lived several more hours and died in the early morning hours after the day John Wilkes Booth pulled the trigger.
William McKinnley died eight days after being shot at.
James Garfield lived the longest (I think about three months). Garfield was killed by his doctors rather than by the one who shot at him.

Correct? May I come up with the next?

Yes, You may.

Name the five tribes of native Americans who were patronizingly named the "civilized tribes".

Nick22 · **Reply #359 on:** May 29, 2005, 06:21:34 PM

CHerokee Seminole Choicataw, and I can't think of the other two.
