A "Buffalo Soldier" skull was recovered by Dee Brecheisen at Ft. Craig and apparently found in his estate after his death. His nickname in Viet Nam was "Gravedigger".

Investigators say the historian, Dee Brecheisen, may have been a prolific looter who spotted historical sites from his plane. Brecheisen died in 2004 and although it was not clear whether the looting continued after his death, authorities exhumed the unprotected site to prevent future thefts. So why are you defending Dee?

Craig by paving within the actual Ft. site among other transgressions. But the corker is that the Bureau of Rec. actually DESTROYED AT LEAST 25% of the original Ft. Site without any excavations what so ever. #3 Dee was a brave Vietnam vet that saw combat action, and his love of history will live way beyond your ignorant, uninformed attack of him. #1 There were absolutely no civil war artifacts in Dee's driveway or yard, I would know as I was there several times. #2 Yes, Dee hated the BLM, with good reason as they (at least in in NM) have shown total disregard for our cultural civil war history at Ft.
