The Dawson Massacre-- Part 3: Reinternment

Mathew Caldwell, in the meantime, had defeated the Mexicans in the Battle of Salado Creek and found the dead of Nicholas Dawson's command buried in a shallow grave.

In late summer 1848 (after Texas had become a U.S. State), a group of LaGrange citizens retrieved the remains of Dawson's men and reinterned them at Monument Hill, Texas.
