On May 13, 1865, a month after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Private John J. Williams of the 34th Indiana became the last man killed in the Civil War, in a battle at Palmito Ranch, Texas. The final skirmish was a Confederate victory. http://www.pbs.org/civilwar/war/facts.html Oct 13 06, 10:56 PM

Oh, forgot to mention, not only was Williams the LAST to die in the Civil War but it happened AFTER the bulk of Confederate forces in both the East and Transmississippi had already surrendered, and he was the ONLY casualty of that battle (talk about bad luck). Oct 14 06, 5:42 AM

Man O' War never won a Kentucky Derby but his son sure did. Can you name him? This man was raised by an uncle after his mother died of smallpox. He became a merchant sailor, and began smuggling opium when business was slow. He retired to his home state of Massachusetts where a town is named for his estate. He was also known for his philanthropy. Who was he? A famous man who had shared a searing experience with this chemist said of him, after his death, that he had actually died of that experience 40 years later. Well known for a striking memoir and for a fascinating book directly inspired by his scientific profession, he was born on this day shortly after World War I. Who was this man, and what are the two books to which I'm referring? This man commanded the 99th Pursuit Squadron during WWII (a unit made up entirely of Tuskegee Airmen), and he became the first African American to earn 3 stars after the war...can you name him?
