Well, the 69th New York and the 45th Illinois each produced 4 generals so I am not sure which regiment you are the referring to.

REALLY? I didn't know that. During the war years?

Because the regiment I'm thinking of was the 154th Tennesssee (Senior) Regiment. It was also known as the 1st Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers...but not to this who served in it.

Okay, gotta think of another toughie...

69th NY

Michael Corchoran BG
Thomas Meagher BG
Robert Nugent BG
Patrick Kelly BG (KIA at Petersburg, never received his promotion...died after confirmed as BG USV)


45th ILL

John Eugene Smith BG
Jasper A. Maltby BG
John Rawlins BG

Okay, a technicality

Ely Parker's BG was backdated to 9 APR 65...originally it was dated June 65.

Sorry; I think I dropped the ball on this, but it's time to revive it.

Here we go again...

Two famous Confederate FEMALE spies had a common tie: blockade runners.

One died when the one she sailed aboard failed to complete its trip. The other married one of her captors when the ship she was aboard also failed.

Name the women and the ships they made famous.
