The Annual Plea For Help.
« on: May 19, 2008, 09:50:32 PM »
Once again, I have been battling with the annual Custer Quiz and I would appreciate help from anyone who may have an hour or two to spare when there's nothing on telly. Okay, I have tried to find a couple of these answers on the internet but without any luck.
What medical procedure did Surgeon General's Circular No.3 (1871) describe? (And I'm guessing it's something specific, which I couldn't find).
What did U.S. Army General Order No. 43 decree?
What army officer resigned to take the position of Post Master of St. Louis? (We're talking, probably, about an officer who served with Custer).
Marion P. Maus wore this unusual item while being married. What was it?
It's well established that I'm a sad individual so thanks for bearing with me.

Was it a fluorescent T-Shirt with "I Love Halibut" printed on it?

Very helpful, Peepsie...NOT!  >:(

Roger, I'm pretty sure it was a very large red bow, with white polka dots. Marion was her Sunday name, but she was far better known by her nickname of Min.


Marion P. Maus
I apologise, in advance.

Yes, Marshmallow Peeps, this is a serious topic. We'll have none of your tomfoolery here.

Look, I was always told, "If you don't know the answer, at least have a guess"!

Thank you, Vulch, this looks promising. I'm not even going to mention the other "contributions".

I can't read anything like this, even from Roger, without thinking I'm being set up. You larrikins, you. By larrikins I mean bastards, of course.

What's wrong with bastards, Malc. Some of us have grown up to lead perfectly useful lives!
