Page "Casimir Pulaski" Paragraph 23

Pulaski received a symbolic burial in Charleston on 21 October.

According to several contemporary witnesses, including Pulaski's aide-de-camp, he was buried at sea.

Other witnesses however, including Captain Samuel Bulfinch of the Wasp, claimed that the wounded Pulaski was actually later removed from the ship and taken to Greenwich plantation near Savannah, Georgia, where he died and was buried.

Remains at Monterey Square alleged to be Pulaski's were exhumed in 1996 and examined in a forensic study.

The eight-year examination, including DNA analysis, ended inconclusively, although the skeleton is consistent with Pulaski's age and occupation.

The remains were reinterred with military honors in 2005.
