Custer's burial causes historical debate

Custer
Author Sandy Barnard will discuss George Armstrong Custer during a joint meeting of the Barton County Historical Society and the Quivira chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association on Monday, April 22. Barnard, a well known Custer expert, will provide the program, “Where Custer Fell and Where is He Buried?” at 7:30 p.m. at the Barton County Historical Society Museum, located south at 85 South U.S. 281 – just south of the Arkansas River bridge in Great Bend. Barnard will discuss the controversy on whether the Army actually retrieved Custer’s body and buried it at West Point.
