So does that make it more or less valuable?

Oldest known Civil War veteran?

The company that nearly auctioned the skull last year said notarized documents had showed it was discovered on a Gettysburg farm, not the Southwestern US, according to NBC 4. Paper will lie still and let you put anything on it.

Maybe it is the skull of a Viking.
How do they know the person was from the Southwest? Traces of peyote in the bone?
Maybe it was a Viking on the way back from a trip to the Southwest to gather peyote, killed on his way back to Greenland. Denmark can sue for reparations as soon as they determine what tribe was living in Gettysburg in the 13th century.

How old does a grave have to be before you can dig it up and auction the body parts?

Why was the skull of a Civil War soldier auctioned when it should have received a proper burial?

So, are we talkin' 'Red Dot' Indians or 'WaHoo' Indians?
I'm thinkin' probably 'WaHoo' but ya can't be sure.
Them Patels have a lot of motels in the SW and it could have been one of them from back in the day.

It was an Indian sharpshooter ready to take out a Union general. Brian Williams was there and took out the threat.
