Whoever gets the most right out of 10 questions will have it sent to them.
Question #1 - Who was the second president of the U.S.? (we'll start easy LOL)

I'll even give a hint to help someone out... Dolly!
Correction - It is "Abigail"
shhh --- I'm trying to stir the pot & get someone else to say I'm wrong
John Adams was the second president of the United States.
Hip Hip Hooray - Lisa kickin' on this one!
Well done, my Lady Lisa.
Now..... On to #2......
What was so special about the death of Thomas Jefferson?
Thomas Jefferson, the third president, and John Adams, the second president, both died on the same day, the fiftieth birthday of this great nation on July 4, 1826. Both Jefferson and Adams had played great roles in the construction of the Declaration of Independence.
Well, I'm going to have to make this harder...
Mmmmm......

Next question.......
Who ruled England after Henry VIII's daughter, Mary?
Actually there was another ruler that the monarchy will not recognize, but history does.
Can I get a ghost point for this GREY area?

Great!

Beetlemess - 2 Ghostpoints LOL
Next one.............. Name the men on U.S. currency that were never president.
I BEN thinking on this one and didn't want to HAM it up. Hopefully, you mean current currency. Otherwise you'd be CHASING down the guy on the $10,000
Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Salmon P. Chase
LOL Very good.
Lisa - 4
Mona - 1
Beetlemess - priceless
Next one.......
What is the first piece of literature we have in English?
Bingo!
Lisa - 5
Mona - 1
What was the name of Lewis and Clark's guide and why was she chosen?
Sacagawea
She would be invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth near the Three Forks of the Missouri, she could serve as an interpreter, and she would quiet the fears of the Native Americans
What other connection would she have with a tribe they would encounter later?
She was the sister of the chief of one of the Shoshone tribes they later encountered.
I obviously just happened to pick up this thread in a quiet moment. Gosh! You guys have really been busy while I've been at work. But I have to tell you that I actually DID laugh out loud when I read Beetle's post on the currency question. (I'm more of a quiet laugher, normally.)
Thank you. Great fun.
LOL. Mona, you have to really watch this forum. You never know when it will explode. LOL
Lisa, you're the winner. I'll the book to the next batch I send to you.
As soon as I go through my books some more. I'll post more for you to win. :)See how you profit from my moving and wanting to clean house
That is so awesome! I love winning stuff, especially free books!
Thanks you so much, Rebecca.
I'll toss in a meaningful, thought-provoking line - sometimes...
Hello Rebecca and company;
John Adams was the 2nd president. However, I had to look this up as I wasn't sure. Does my answer still count?
