On Jeopardy tonight one of the categories was "The Assassination of Abraham Limcoln." I am happy to report that I ran the category. I will add that the questions were not that difficult.

Example please? We are dying to know!

Why would we expect anything less?


RE: Jeopardy - Rsmyth - 10-16-2012 07:14 AM

What was the name of the play?
What did Booth say after firing the shot?
What did William Kent find in the box?
What was the name of the manufacturer of the weapon?
Who took charge of the investigation at the Petersen house?
What did Stanton say immediately after Lincoln's death?

Thanks! Interestingly, we on this Discussion Board have explored the answers to a couple of those questions. For instance, Stanton's remark after Lincoln's death ("angels or ages?").

Just think, Rich. Even if they broke out the tough questions (like what happened to Lincoln's socks?), you'd have aced them all!

Rich, I agree with Joe. I believe anyone that is a regular on this forum would have got to the end of that category and exclaimed "is that all you got Alex?"
