He lived into the 1900s.

[SunGrins]

was he a politician?

was he noted for military service?

[eok]

Did he invent something?

Did he start an industry, or start a company that transformed an industry?

To recognize who he was, do you have to be smarter than a 5th grader?

I assume the object of this game is to see how close we can get to 20 questions.

He was in the Civil War.

He didn't invent anything

Had nothing to do with industry

I knew about him when I was in 5th grade

Was his chief claim to fame from what he did in the Civil War?

No, but that's where he discovered his talent.

[eok]

Was he a sniper?

Was he a confederate?

Was his talent a skill useful in war, but he became famous for it after the Civil War?

Not a sniper

He served on both sides of the war

His talent was not useful in war except for himself

[SunGrins]

Was he primarily a writer?
