Download or read book Lost Confederate Gold written by Robert Jones and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the night of April 2/3, 1865, a train left Richmond carrying the gold and silver from the Confederate Treasury, perhaps worth $370,000, as well as $450,000 in gold and silver from a group of Richmond banks. The train roughly followed the escape route of Jefferson Davis and his cabinet - sometimes ahead of Davis, and sometimes behind. By the time the treasure cache reached Washington, Georgia, the Confederate Treasury was depleted. We'll examine in some detail what happened to the gold and silver along the way. The Richmond bank specie fared better up to that point, arriving more or less intact. But this would change radically on May 24, 1865 when Confederate parolees hijacked the Richmond bank gold as it was being shipped from Washington, GA back to Richmond. While some of that gold was recovered, there is still about $140,000 (1865 dollars) missing. This book will tell the tale of the last days of the Confederate Treasury, and the lost gold and silver of the Richmond Banks. The book contains 44 illustrations.

Download or read book Confederate Gold written by Bill Westhead and published by . This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 2nd 1865, with the Confederate states in turmoil, a train carrying the separate monies of both the Confederate Treasury and the Virginia banks left Richmond. Following a hazardous flight south, the train was eventually split, allowing the bank money to return to Richmond. On May 24th, the wagon train carrying this money north was hijacked near Washington, Georgia. While some of the stolen money was recovered, much remains missing to this day. Rumors abound as to where the thieves hid their loot. Some claim it was dumped in that portion of the Savannah River, which is now part of Thurmond Lake. There have been many attempts to find it with no success although occasional claims of finding a gold bar or a few coins have been made. Others suggest the money is hidden in Crawfordville at the home of then Vice President Alexander Stephens but again no evidence has been found. Confederate Gold deftly blends fact and fiction into an historical mystery. The novel is woven around past realities and encompasses the many aspects of human strengths: loyalty, patience and fortitude offset by human frailties: greed, lust and deceit. Adventure and suspense are combined against a backdrop of real and fictional characters. In the end the novel suggests an answer to the whereabouts of that missing treasure. If it is not in the Savannah River or at the home of Vice President Alexander Stephens, it could well be where Singleton states it to be.

Download or read book Lost Treasure written by Bruce Wetterau and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clay Cantrell and his partner Mac Harper are restoring a 200-year-old mansion when they uncover a dusty old journal, a Confederate captain's diary that points the way to a horde of Confederate gold coins locked in three strongboxes. Coins that today will be worth millions, if the horde can be found. The son of well-to-do parents, Clay Cantrell is not your ordinary contractor. An ex-Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he has settled back into everyday civilian life in his hometown of Staunton, Virginia. He restores old houses there for a living, but can't quite shake a nagging itch for adventure. So the chance to go on a treasure hunt is a stroke of luck tailormade for Clay. The adventure takes an ominous turn though, when Clay finds himself accused of murder, before he, Mac, and a third friend start out on their treasure hunt. Lost Treasure alternates between this modern-day treasure hunt-murder mystery and flashbacks to the Confederate captain's story. The captain commands a secret Confederate supply depot, hidden deep inside a cavern in the wilds of Virginia's Allegheny Mountains. That's where the Confederates put the treasure for safekeeping in the last months of the Civil War, and where the fate of the captain's command was sealed. What really happened in that cavern 150 years ago? Who is trying to frame Clay for a murder he didn't commit? Will Clay and company find the treasure? Lost Treasure is a fast-paced, tightly plotted mystery adventure that will keep you guessing to the very end. It's the first in a planned series of Clay Cantrell mystery adventure novels by Bruce Wetterau, who is currently at work on the second book in the series, Killer Fog.
