Follow-up Activities for The Lost Dispatch

By Marie Mitchell & Mason Smith

Chapter 13 follow-up: “This Missing Dispatch”

1. M.K. Turney agrees to write an article about the missing dispatch being found. How would you write the first paragraph of such a news story to make it interesting to your readers?

2. When the missing dispatch is finally recovered, the question remains whether it would have made a difference in the outcome of the Civil War. Is it possible to know how it would have affected the course of the war?

3. Why does Vic decide she wants to keep the missing dispatch even though it means foregoing a significant amount of money by not selling it? Would you make the same decision?

4. Read more about General Braxton Bragg. Do you think he was a qualified commander? What evidence supports your findings?

5. Latisha mentions genealogy research. What is it? Where does one find information for this research? Has anyone traced your family tree?
