NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. It sits in the archive under dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The site is open to visitors.

McWilliams' grave is the lied — the 'how old must I be' that's the question asked, the 'just what I am' that's the answer given. The 'too young' is the solved — the 'didn't know age' that's the slavery's mark, the 'seventeen claimed' that's the enlistment won. The 'Second Kansas' is the joined — the 'early Black regiment' that's the unit served, the 'war's rest' that's the service full.
The 'six generations' is the grown — the 'Lincoln settled' that's the family rooted, the 'homesteaded' that's the '80s land. The 'married Sarah' is the doubled — the 'both escaped' that's the pair's start, the 'Wyuka's stone' that's the rest marked. McWilliams' is the quick — the 'answer ready' that's the youth's wit, the 'war served' that's the claim kept.
The file keeps McWilliams: the age invented, the regiment joined, the homestead, and the six generations.
McWilliams' grave is the archive's Nebraska file — the boy who told the sergeant what he needed.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
McWilliams' grave is the archive's Nebraska file — the escapee who enlisted on a lie.
A stone keeps its wit — the file's suggestion being that McWilliams' hold is the answered: the 'how old' that's the question turned, the 'just what I am' that's the age claimed, and the 'six generations' that's the life built.
