A 120-pound man named Johnny Fry is widely considered to have been the first person to do what - on April 3, 1860?
A: Ride a leg of the Pony Express B: Use a telegraph
C: Fire a shot in the Civil War D: Travel coast-to-coast by train

Spoiler

Kat answers C: Fire a shot in the Civil War.
The correct answer is A: Ride a leg of the Pony Express.
Kat wins $5,000.

10K: guess correctly

The reason for correct guess is that Pony Express is only choice where man's weight matters, & Q is low enough amount that logic might matter.

Also: 1st user of telegraph was Marconi or his assistant, whose name I admit I don't know, why would there be a train with only one passenger, & Ft. Sumpter was fired on by a group. Date is probably wrong for Sumpter, too, but right for Pony Express.

This season has had plenty of Jeopardy alumni as players so far, I think with more coming.
