[edit] Reinterment
What is the source for the statement of reinterment in 1877? According to West Point: Two Centuries of Honor and Tradition (New York, 2002), Thayer was interred at West Point in November 1872, during which the entire cadet corps, for the only time in history, fired a volley over his grave.
