Ah - this is what I was replying to when I lost the lot!

I had initially acknowledged my appreciation that people (and now you) cared enough . . . . on a second thought, given my interest in family history, I went to check for the possibility of family info on some genealogical sites. Fairly quickly, I found that the story you tell is commemorated at Find a Grave. It's free, so take a look and perhaps add your photo, which is better than the one they have.

Of course, the entry tells the tale as you have presented it, but it adds a little more detail about the disinterment by "Indians", to which you referred:

"From Texas history.com:
In Guadalupe Canyon, there are still remnants of rock retaining walls dating from 1858 lining both sides of the road as it snakes its way down the canyon. Today, those who venture down the canyon can see the headstone of U.S. Army guide Jose Maria Polancio, who served under Captain James Longstreet. Indians ambushed Polancio in this canyon in February 1855. The soldiers who found Polancio wrapped him in a buffalo robe and buried him. The Indians later returned, dug up the interred guide, stole his buffalo robe and proceeded to shoot his body full of arrows a second time."

I did not find anything definitive in my brief and shallow genealogical search, but a number of tantalising items came up relating to the name Jose Maria Polanco (note the spelling difference). For example, one of this name married Concepcion Perez at Sorocco, El Paso, on November 3 1854. Further, there was a birth of another Jose Maria Polanco on April 11 1855, in Sorocco, although his mother's name is stated to be Maria Refugio Polanco, so this brief information is problematic and crying out for further research; but there's enough here to make me wish I could pursue it - to sort out Polancio and Polanco, to check the marriage, and that birth; to see whether the murdered man's context could be significantly expanded. Was he newly married? Did he have a son born posthumously?

Captain Longstreet might also prove to be an interesting subject of inquiry.

So anyway, thanks for drawing attention to this interesting bit of obscure history.

Conclusion

Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we
conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict
fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report. As
noted, former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith committed a criminal offense by fabricating
language in an email that was material to the FBI obtaining a FISA surveillance order. In other
instances, FBI personnel working on that same FISA application displayed, at best, a cavalier
attitude towards accuracy and completeness. FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded
important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while
acknowledging - both then and in hindsight - that they did not genuinely believe there was
probable cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence
activities on behalf of a foreign power, or knowingly helping another person in such activities.43
And certain personnel disregarded significant exculpatory information that should have
prompted investigative restraint and re-examination.

Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of
analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from
politically affiliated persons and entities. This information in part triggered and sustained
Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's
investigation. In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or
funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not
adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them,
even when at about the same time the Director ofthe FBI and others learned of significant and
potentially contrary intelligence.

In light of the foregoing, there is a continuing need for the FBI and the Department to
recognize that lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to
rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents caused investigators to fail
to adequately consider alternative hypotheses and to act without appropriate objectivity or
restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy between a U.S. political campaign and
a foreign power. Although recognizing that in hindsight much is clearer, much of this also seems
to have been clear at the time. We therefore believe it is important to examine past conduct to
identify shortcomings and improve how the government carries out its most sensitive functions.
Section V discusses some of these issues more fully.

This report does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies
that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability
in how counterintelligence activities are carried out. Rather, it is intended to accurately describe
the matters that fell under our review and to assist the Attorney General in determining how the
Department and the FBI can do a better, more credible job in fulfilling its responsibilities, and in
analyzing and responding to politically charged allegations in the future. Ultimately, of course,
meeting those responsibilities comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to
follow the guidelines and policies currently in place, guidelines that date from the time of
Attorney General Levi and that are designed to ensure the rule of law is upheld. As such, the
answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old. The promulgation of
additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to
be a fruitless exercise if the FBI's guiding principles of "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity" are not
engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI' s mission of "Protect[ing] the
American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution of the United States.

As I understand there are two possibilities for Hydrogen. One is to use it in an internal combustion engine and the other is to use it in a fuel cell. The internal combustion engine is going to produce oxides of nitrogen (a smog producer). The fuel cell is going to use electric power to run an engine. That means the most likely vehicle is still going to be an EV although the power storage system is much different.

Hydrogen fuel cells are probably the future since battery technology seems to be slow to develop.

"This is not a question of being conservative or being Republican. This is lunacy, they’ve descended into madness," Costas said. "People, whose only objective is their next appearance on Fox News, hold congressional seats and have sway within the party. They all live in fear of Trump. It’s a cult. It’s not a principle, it’s not a philosophy, it’s no longer a party so much as it is a cult.

“Some of them are just bat-bleep crazy, the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of the world, but others are just so spineless and cowardly. And so, in fear of what turning on Trump and even acknowledging this madness would cause, that they bite their tongues, or they say things that they should know better or they don’t really believe in…and Fox News could have been a corrective to that if Fox News said, ‘We lean right, but this isn’t true. This is wrong.’ They not only made Trump their hero, but they vilified anyone who criticized him.”


Now, if only his minions could understand and accept.
