Beecher's Island is probably my favorite Indian Wars battle. I was able to get out that way a few years ago and while there is not much to show what took place, with the aid of a few maps and Forsythe's report that I took with me, I was able to visualize what took place.
Ironically, as I was getting ready to leave two elderly women came up and began asking me some questions, which ended up with me explaining the battle to them. They asked how long I'd been working at the site - and I had to admit that it was my first visit.
