"Stump the Yankee"

[PaigeBooth]

Well, Mr. Yankee, I would first like to say how much I enjoy your analogies; where do you come up with them all?!! I laughed when I read them! And thanks, I take these as compliments.
Regarding your answers so far:
You are CORRECT about the name of the railroad- it was the Gettysburg-Hanover Railroad= Yankee 5 points. Actually, at the time of the battle in 1863, the railroad came into town a couple of blocks north of the town square, and abruptly ended a couple of blocks west of the square. Eventually, this of course would be the railroad that Pres. Lincoln would use when he came to town in November, for his cemetery dedication/Gettysburg Address.
As far as your answer about General Gordon and June 27th for the Confederate destruction, your are PARTIALLY CORRECT. Yankee= 2 1/2 points.
The complete answer I was looking for is: Confederate General Jubal Early confined his deliberate destruction of private property into railroads. His cavalry did and efficient job of burning bridges, railroad cars, and depots on the Northern Central Railroad from Hanover Junction almost Harrisburg, while General John Gordon did similar work on the line running between Wrightsville and York. For reasons not entirely clear, Early refrained from burning the railroad buildings and two railroad car manufacturing plants in York. When he left there on June 30th, 1863, the physical appearance of the town was unaltered except for charred remains of railroad cars, torn up sections of track, and broken switches. Generals Ewall and Pickett also destroyed sections of railroad track around Chambersburg PA. They also cut down telegraph poles and wires to hinder Union communication= 2 1/2 points for the Rebels.

I am still waiting to hear your answer about what involvement, it any, the Union played regarding my question.

You're doing fairly well, for a Yankee that is!!!! ''I'm going to beat the Yankee carpetbaggers at their own game, and you're going to help me!''
