What about Samuel Hill?

feeds@yuku.com (Lady Sicily) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 11:48:07 GMT

I have been looking at some things and it would seem that this guy would have been in the right place, at the right time, all the time. PLUS, he had inside access to the Railroad through his father-in-law. He was also responsible for the building many "roads". Seems like it would be hard to get at a cache that was buried under a public road..Wouldn't it? Unless you had another way in of course, a hidden entrance, but it would be a smart move. Like damming up a waterway, burying...

Books?

feeds@yuku.com (Travito) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:52:08 GMT

I went to my school library earlier and checked out some books on the civil war, the titles are The Photographic History of the Civil War: Armies and Leaders, Photographic History of the Civil War: The Decisive Battles, Photographic History of the Civil War: The Cavalry, and the final book just titled The Civil War. The titles are not really of importance, but I was jsut wondering if reading about the civil war would be any use to finding information about the KGC or treasure...

KGC Treasure maps?

feeds@yuku.com (Travito) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:26:54 GMT

Alright, I've been browsing the forums, and it seems as if some of you guys actually have maps that lead to caches, if I'm not mistaken? Now, I'm just wondering, how do you come into possession of such maps, because it seems to me that these alone would be museum worthy artifacts. I'm pretty sure I read that one guy had over 80 maps?! Like, where do you get those and is it possible for me to get my hands on them? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks a lot,

Union Coins In Central Texas

feeds@yuku.com (Texan4LifeTHP) — Sun, 04 May 2008 15:44:53 GMT

Greetings All,

I am new to this forum and to the world of the KGC. I have been doing some research, and while reading about the KGC in "Jesse James Was One Of His Names" I found a reference to a shipment of Union coins captured by the Confederates, and burryed on the ranch owned by Captain Bragg near Llano, Tx. It also mentions the Camel & Straw Caves. Can someone please try to help me in my search? I can find no reference to either location. Its greatly...

Treasures in Missouri

can someone tell me of any known treasures in Missouri??

Where is everybody?

Where is everybody? Great topic. Did the KGC get y'all... or did ya all join and take a vow of secrecy?

Okie Blog

feeds@yuku.com (2late2dig) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:02:33 GMT

We now have KGC related articles that should qualify the blog to be talked about here as well as in the outlaw treasures forum. We've done a lot of research to make sure what we are blogging is information that can be verified. While what we bring forth may not be popular beliefs for the treasure hunting crowd, such as J Frank Dalton not being Jesse James, we will do our best to provide information for both sides of the KGC controversy. We are working to bring as many tools to help other...

The mysterious KGC or something more?

feeds@yuku.com (point hunter1) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:47:29 GMT

Hi. I'm new to the forum but have been reading and researching for a couple of years now. I stumbled onto my first set of tree carvings totally by accident. I was out looking for arrowheads with my son and it's ironic that Beech trees like the same first high ground off the waters edge as the indians did. It just so happened that these trees were within rock throwing distance of an old confederate cemetary. I began looking for other signs and started finding "Hoot Owl Trees"...

Public Forum

feeds@yuku.com (Fusilier28) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 23:08:07 GMT

Guys, I'm fairly new to this forum. I know everything I post can be googled. Thats how I found this forum. Kept coming across posts by "Rebel" whenever I googled "Bedford Virginia Confederate Treasure."
I prefer "private" forums, where you have to be logged in in order to read. Oh well. This ones a hoot.
Several of you have mentioned you encountered "problems" after posting on here.
Would you mind sharing your experiences?

East Fork of San Gabriel River

feeds@yuku.com (Fusilier28) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:10:28 GMT

Anyone out there ever check out the East Fork of the San Gabriel River near Los Angeles? It was a hotbed of KGC/Secesh activities just before the Civil War. Local legend says there may be a KGC cache up there.
Union Army records at Drum Barracks confirm that they had troubles with Southern sympathizers both along the river and in El Monte. Records also show Jacob Wirtz (Lost Dutchman) worked in the area as well.

Sentinels

feeds@yuku.com (Fusilier28) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 20:45:31 GMT

Curosity drives me to ask this. Both in Bob Brewer's book and on this forum, KGC Sentinels are mentioned. I have no problem understanding people taking this duty in the years just following the Civil War, but what about today? Now... for the record, I am not a serious treasure hunter; I am, if anything, just academically curious.
Brewer's book shows "Grandpa Ashcraft," who is not a Confederate veteran, or even the son of a Confederate veteran from what I can tell,...

Blog Thread Moved

feeds@yuku.com (2late2dig) — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:20:31 GMT

For those wanting to know what happened to the blog thread, it has been moved to the treasure hunting forum under the outlaw treasures thread. When you come onto the ALT forum just scroll down about halfway and you will see it.

Reading between the lines...........

feeds@yuku.com (stilldign) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 08:53:52 GMT

I posted a topic titled "Modern day treasure symbols in your county" a week or so ago. I will be releasing some very interesting information and pictures in the near future concerning these treasure signs that exist in towns and cities all across this country, however, right now I want to discuss something I just read in the local newspaper.
I haven't stated much about the treasure signs that can be found within the stones used to build the Shelby County Courthouse in Harlan,...

Cache of J Frank Dalton info found

feeds@yuku.com (2late2dig) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:31:16 GMT

I was going to reprint the first book about J Frank Dalton that the two Lawton reporters who broke the story about him wrote, but a small cache of the originals were found still in their plastic sleeves. These were printed in 1948 and never circulated. I paid $65 for the only copy I could find, but I am going to offer these for $20 plus the cost of mailing them. If someone would like a number of them we might could work a deal. This is the story that started the legend. Please let me know if...

Bruce Springsteen and the KGC

feeds@yuku.com (softy) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:39:09 GMT

esse James was a lad that killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train
He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor
He'd a hand and a heart and a brain

Well it was Robert Ford, that dirty little coward
I wonder now how he feels
For he ate of Jesse's bread and he slept in Jesse's bed
And he laid poor Jesse in his grave

Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life
Three children now they were brave
Well that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
He...

Madrugada Estrella Mapa Oro

feeds@yuku.com (AJValiant) — Sun, 13 May 2007 06:35:01 GMT

Would anyone happen to have a good image of this map? The only two I've seen online is the side by side of what some have said is the original and others a copy of what was found on a tree, and second, a copy of it which has been posted here many times.

We can discuss origins of both and that would be fine. Perhaps someone has facts on dates and history of these maps.

One example differs from the other being a copy. I would like to see a clearer image of the original if...
