A second test, conducted using other bone samples, found that Pulaski and his grand-niece were a match. The results, derived from mitochondrial DNA, weren’t as conclusive as better-known nuclear DNA tests, but the scientist who conducted them said that 99.98 percent of the population would not share the characteristics that these two people shared. Scientists also found that Pulaski’s skeleton was between 5 foot 2 and 5 foot 4, in line with accounts of the general’s height, that the skeleton showed signs of extensive horseback riding, that the skeleton was in the right age range, and that the skeleton had a right hand injury consistent with a battle wound Pulaski was known to have suffered.
