Anyone ever see Stand and Deliver?

I hear it now:

"We found certain irregularities in the answers given. It was only after these irregularities surfaced, that we discovered all of the correct answers came from AnandTech."

Hi,
Do any of these guys sound like the answer for question #11?
They were all copperhead leaders that were arrested and tried.
H. H. Dodd, Dr. Wm. A. Bowles, L. Milligan
I'll keep looking. thanks for the rest of the answers. Some of
these are really damned hard. I mean a lot of these are really hard.

9. 17th Indiana Regiment Infantry (guess?: museum named after Col. Eli Lilly)
11. Dr. Wm. Bowleshttp://users.aol.com/cinticwrt/copper.html
17. Camp Morton (Camp Ford is/was in Texas).
18. William W. Dudley (this item disappears when submitting answers via web).

I'm not sure about any of those copperheads. I'm trying to find the regiment flag that is inside the Soldier's and Sailor's Monument for #9. Found some pictures of it and dates and artists involved...but no regiment info!

 

[kingink]

Clement L. Vallandigham or Major General Lambdin P. Milligan
I think this is the answer for #11
http://mysticalbrat.homepage.com/milligan.html
http://www.bartleby.com/65/co/Copperhe.html
Here are the URLs in which I found these references/answers.

I think I will concur on the regiment as the Museum located within the Monument is named after the Col of the 17th reg.

I think the reason the answer for number 18 disappears is because the form that is sent has an error in it. The source code shows that the input names (name=Largest Camp) q's 17 & 18. This could mess up the cgi perl scripts return answer. Also, this page hasn't been updated in an awful long time. Still think we'll get a shirt?

Valdingham was active in Ohio, it couldn't be him.
It must be either Milligan or Bowles.
Good work, regardless....

 

[dimwit]

Bowles was just a doofus from French Lick. Now Daniel Wolsey Voorhees, though born in Ohio, but living in Indiana during the war, was known as "the nation's leading anti-Lincoln Copperhead." .

they suspended it...did u guys give it to mycoupons.

 

[goog40]

Haha, I bet they noticed an unusually high percentage of people getiing 100% on the quiz.

 

[cybrOKIE]

yip...just went there "The Indiana Civil War Quiz has been temporarily
suspended."

guess I don't get to cheat and get mine *pout*

 

[kingink]

I think that the site questionnaire was really old. It stated the last time that it was updated was sometime in 1999. It had a total cgi/form error. They probably never checked it. I am pretty sure I got most of the answers right on this one. thanks to everyones help snooping and sleuthing. I hope the person who came up with most of the answers early on at least gets the shirt. I just don't think they have any.

[Ranger X]

They probably thought everyone would be too stupid to get these questions so they probably only had a handful of these T-shirts in stock.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I just hope I got mine....I sent that one off last week. Seemed to go through.... I've got my fingers crossed!

 

[kingink]

I have sent a couple of emails to the address on the website frontpage. They were returned undeliverable. I sent another to the person supposedly maintaining the page and did not receive a reply.
If anyone gets one please post. TIA
