  Moses Van Campen!
Unfortunately for Lieutenant Boyd's party, they did not follow those orders; it has been said about Lieutenant Boyd that he was an ambitious young officer more interested in seeking glory in battle than wasting his talents on such a mundane reconnaisance mission.
Instead of maintaining the integrity of their recon mission, Boyd's party was tricked by one of the oldest Indian tricks in the book, that of sending a small party of Indians to lure the Boyd party into an ambush.
Boyd's head had been cut off, too, but it was scalped and then almost completely skinned and positioned on a log with its mouth open.

 SPLICEDwire: "Ravenous" review
"Ravenous" stars Guy Pearce ("L.A. Confidential") as Captain Boyd, a cowardly army captain and accidental Mexican-American war hero, who is assigned to a California mountain fort full of oddball enlistees during the winter of 1847.
This campfire tale scene sets the mood for the film, Carlyle gripping both his on-screen and off-screen audiences with all-too-vivid storytelling in the dungeon-like setting of the cold and dreary fort.
The second half of the film is a matter of Boyd's strength to resist this compulsion, and Pearce is brilliantly uncertain in his conviction.

 Richmond Times Dispatch
In his 1995 book "The Saltville Massacre," Thomas Mays relied on the account of Confederate soldier George Mosgrove and other eyewitnesses to conclude that, at a minimum, 46 fl cavalrymen were executed after the battle.
Cliff Boyd, a professor of archaeology at Radford and a member of Whisonant's team (along with geography professors Lori LeMay and Berndt Kuennecki), said finding the grave is the only way to settle the dispute over the scope of the massacre.
Boyd said such sites, taken together with archival records and oral traditions of where the fl cavalrymen were buried, could further zero in on a mass grave.

Last night, Frank Blake, whose wife, Mary, a teacher, survived the 1996 massacre which left 16 Dunblane Primary School children and another teacher dead, welcomed the release of some of the police reports but said the families wanted all the documentation made available to the public.

Firstly, whether or not Richard Boyd Barrett likes it, the first free and democratic elections to be held in Iraq since 1958 (or ever, if you question those elections) took place six weeks ago.
As an aside, we would note that the continuity, to the extent it is true, is a sign of a measure of stability.
The actions of a small minority then (twenty-three years ago, moreover) were hardly representative of their community at the time, let alone almost a quarter of a century later.
