Black Jack Battlefield Geologic Survey
- Dr. Doug Scott, world-renowned battlefield archaeologist, headed a team that conducted a first stage archaeological study of the Black Jack Battlefield on May 4 and 5. Results of the survey will be reported here as they become available. Dr. Scott is well known for his study of the Little Bighorn Battlefield in the 1980s that rewrote the history of that famous battle. Among his many other accomplishments, he as done extensive work on the Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge National Battlefields in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas and the Sand Creek Massacre site in eastern Colorado. We are honored by his interest in the Black Jack Battlefield and feel it is another example of the importance of the Battle of Black Jack in American history.
