"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

Very sorry, Gene, but once more, you have failed to "Stump the Yankee". How awful this sting of defeat must be for "Y'all"!!

Tally up 'til now - Rebs - 1
Yankees - 1

The answer is - Marshall O. Roberts

Here's the link I found this round on - http://www.picturehistory.com/product/id/19110

What's important here is we all learned something - first, the answer itself. A little known assassination fact, with no importance to anything related to the act itself - it was enough to even the score. Special thanks to :

Laurie Verge - I owe everyone's favorite former teacher a few Jack & Gingers. I may still be the recipient of a backhand for backsassing the teacher on a public forum.

Betty Ownsbey - For donating, with all seriousness, a piece of American history anyone linked to this topic should be proud to own. Thanks, Betty!!

Roger Norton - Roger nailed the answer in a private e-mail to me, but swell guy that he is - wanted the prize to go to one of his forum's members. Many thanks to Roger for allowing me to run wild with this mess on his new site. "Politest Man on the Internet"? Yes, he is.

This prize will be offered for the next winning answer on "Stump the Yankee". It was fun! Thanks to all for participating!!
