BRANDON HISTORY QUIZ - Preamble
4/20/2007 at 10:22 PM
Well, it's 48 questions of historical goodness and it's ready to go !
My intention was to set it up as a survey but, man, it would take forever. What I will do instead is post it here so you can cut and paste or do whatever you want to answer it.
I will post the answers later in the weekend in my blog, that way people 3 months from now can still come to ebrandon and take the quiz without seeing the answers in advance.
The answers are rather detailed - I tried to use long explanations or pics or links to sources whenever possible so they might not look that great on the blog. If you prefer, PM me and I can send them to you in word - They'll look a lot better and might be easier to read.
Finally, as to the accuracy of the answers....I tried my best. The amount and quality of Brandon's on-line history sources is astonishingly poor. For many items I had to rely on non-Branadon based sources (ie Winnipeg newpapers, Henderson Directories, national websites etc) so I cannot confirm whether what they say and what the source says are the same thing. I have tried to keep track of sources whenver I could so if you notice a big error let me know and I can tell you where I found it.
Well, have fun and, just for fun, try to keep track of your orignal answers and score to see how you do !!
