The graveyard on Burying Hill; no, not just home values

Wounded Knee East

Wounded Knee East

For some reason, Disqus doesn’t like reader Jeffrey Bingham Mead’s link to his fascinating article on the history of Burying Hill. This link should work.I was particularly intrigued by the story of a battle there between Tarleton’s soldiers (I had no idea that that savage beast had traveled so far north) and local patriots. Mead speculates, for sound reasons, that a number of British soldiers were buried right here.
