Cool! Saw a book on Roger's Courts Martial the other month at a used book store. Will make a point of returning and seeing if they still have it. Like I don't have enough books already. Webster: Bibliophile, see image, "Reiver".

Private property or not, a burial site is a burial site. It shows no respect for the dead. But if you're dead, you can't object. I wonder if Richard and JoAnne would object to someone digging up their skeletons or those of their children in a couple of hundred years from now.

If you're ever in the area, it's an interesting place to visit. My son and I stopped there a few years ago. We had a copy of a map which showed what Rogers Island looked like back then. You had to mentally eliminate the train tracks, industrial waste and junk piles from your mind while you looked around and tried to match up the site to the map. The museum on the island is pretty cool too.
