Geocache Description:

Throughout history, battles have been fought over what is perceived to be right and wrong. This location is the site of one of them. The above coordinates will bring you to the door of the Welcome Center.

While little remains from the actual incident, the peaceful surroundings still hold hidden clues that will help you to determine what actually occurred here. You will find there are memorials and remnants which are significant to Texas history, and American history. This area is open to the public, there are no visitor’s fees and there is plenty of parking. However, Saturday is a day of observation so please be respectful. Good luck! Your first major challenge will be to get to the location itself. Once you arrive, please look for the answers to the following challenge questions: 1. What is the name of the person buried at N31 35.600, W96 59.345 ? 2. What secondary incident is the reason for the memorial at N31 35.731, W96 59.277 ? 3. Find the marker located at N31 35.723, W96 59.282. Of all the people who perished on the date indicated on the marker, which two names are written in ALL CAPS? To get credit for this cache, please email me your answers. I will email you some links with more details of the events that took place here. Please do not post spoiler pictures or hints, even if encrypted.
