Min, I'm disappointed in you; you didn't even cite the best part of the whole discovery:

Here's to hoping Bassett can verify these sites as the graves of the massacre victims before the church strong arms the land owner into selling.

Quote:The sites are 1,000 or more feet to the west of monuments The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built on properties it acquired under the belief that they harbored the grave sites, Bassett said. He used Army records to locate the actual graves, which were described simply as mounds of rocks. They are in a ravine formed by the Old Spanish Trail — exactly where the records said they would be — on land the church does not own.
