Dragoon Springs Stagecoach Station - Grave Debate 

World renowned archeologist, Dr. Deni Seymour addresses the controversy of who, where and how many are actually buried at the station. Using archeological guidelines, tools and data she brings resolution to the myriad of differing opinions to separate fact from opinion and fiction. 

Dr. Seymour, "What have been characterized as "obscure scattering of rocks" are, in fact, burials related to the 1858 massacre of three people and maiming of another at the Butterfield stage station at Dragoon Springs. This presents the archaeological analysis and document review of the site and the event that keeps its history alive. The location of all documentary evidence including a 1908 letter and a drawing by Grosvenor that places them west of the stage station. The Grosvenor illustration has confused some, but it exhibits a technique that was common at the time of flattening out the structure walls to show more of the structure, with the result that they look like one wall. All of the seven bodies and one arm/graves noted historically for this site are accounted for in the four Confederate graves to the north and the three people and arm buried to the west of the stage station building."
