Let him return home, they said, as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers turned his remains over to the Burke Museum for storage. Let his relatives honor him and reinter him, they said, as courts allowed him to be handled and subjected to study. He is one of us, they said, even as a federal judge and scientists...
