Booth and one of the other conspirators had a connection, at least in name, to a soldier from New Hampshire. What is the name of this soldier?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-26-2019 05:06 PM

Does it have anything to do with North Exeter Street in Baltimore?


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 07-26-2019 05:56 PM

No, think further south, south of Washington.

Could that be a hint as to who the other conspirator might be?

Surratt?

No, the conspirator was not Surratt.

Hint #1: This soldier died in Virginia in April 1862.

Hint#2: Boston Corbett and the other soldiers from the NY 16th Cav. who cornered Booth are also connected to this New Hampshire soldier in the same way.

Hint #2.5: The other conspirator was Herold.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 07-27-2019 12:54 PM

Hint #3: This soldier has a name which sounds like it could've come from the life of Julius Caesar.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 07-27-2019 02:02 PM

Hint #4: I just checked and this soldier's name has appeared on the Forum before, but not really in the way I expected.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 07-27-2019 04:20 PM

Hint #5: This soldier was in the Union army, he was in the First United States Sharpshooters.

Hint #6: Search for "catsup" Trivia


RE: Assassination Trivia - Steve - 07-27-2019 07:06 PM

Hint #6.5: See Hint #4

Once you said "catsup," I thought of Heinz, but I have no idea if that is correct or how it fits into the question. I'll keep guessing.
