A little game I have been thinking of, maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

Give three clues to one particular person in history, and the poster who correctly guesses who that person is then posts another person/question. No search engines allowed!

1. Ogala Souix Chief present at Fetterman's Massacre AND Little Bighorn.

2. Famous Quote: "My lands are where my dead lie buried"

3. Killed at Camp Robinson, Nebraska in Sep. 1877.


An easy one for sure, but we have to start somewhere.:)

Upon Edit: Clarified Rules!

1. Sitting bull
2. Crazy Horse
3. General Custer(?)

It's only ONE guy, not three!:)

Which one of those does all three clues pertain to?

Geronimo was an Apache, in the southwest part of the U.S. Crazy Horse was a Souix, from the Black Hills in the U.S.

1.Mothers name was Rachel Faucett Lavien.
2.Became Secretary of the Treasury with 77 million owed in dept.

1. A cattle rancher in the Dakota territority in the mid 1880's.

2. Nobel Peace Prize winner

3. Governor of New York, before taking over U.S. Vice Presidential Duties. Then served as U.S. President when the President was assasinated.

I tried to make it difficult to use a search engine, as to increase the difficulty.:satan:

Your turn!

Your turn! You mean we can look up the answer on the Net? That doesn't seem fair; we shld limit it to just our memory to make it more challenging. :)

I agree KD, but in order to stop a search engine, you have to be somewhat vague...

And people WILL use them unfortunately anyway...:(

The person who cheats (and is found out) will just have that lower a standing in my book. :rolleyes:

1.Born in what is now Belgium in 1340

2.father of first Lancaster king of England

3.Patron of Geoffrey Chaucer

William of Orange

not quite. Think earlier & more English.

Richmond

This is hard without references, but it is more fun :)
I think we'll see more guessing.

nope. Anyway, even if you were right, I'd ask you to be more specific. At this point, you could say 'Lancaster' and be technically correct (but there's a much better answer).

John of Gaunt?

goerge lancaster?

The Black Prince

bigfatron is correct. Good guess.

John of 'Gaunt' because he was born in Ghent. It was a base of operations for Edward 3 the revenge of Edward during the 100 or so years war.

1 Heir to the English throne
2 Died aged 19 yrs
3 His younger brother inherited and then lost the throne.

Charles I's older brother?

Don't remember the name...

I think it was Vinny.

LOL, I just read this thread and I'm pretty familiar with that era of histroy, still would have missed it. Oh well. :crazyeye:

You're right, but the name's not Vinny....
He was meant to represent James I/VI's claim to the throne and was therefore brought up a strict protestant and named for his most famous great grandfather (hint!)

That would be Henry Frederick Stuart, would it not? Died in 1612.

Nope. Still certain it was Vinny. That or Ethel.

I am utterly certain that there were none of that name amongst the offspring of King James, and equally certain that his firstborn was Henry Frederick Stuart.

Damn, I reach the end of the thread and find that the question has been answered.

However I don't believe young Henry made it to his nineteeth birthday, he was born in 1594 and died in 1612, thus he would have been seventeen or eighteen.
Sadly my memory does not include the exact date of his birth, much as I would like be as definite as Darkshade.

I had his birth date as 1593 but, what the heck, Darkshade is right. Over to you, herr fuhrer....
