I certainly see a pattern and I realize history's are written with a personal and sometimes slanted view which is open to debate from another point of view.

Funny,I watched a "History channel" program where they dug up Jesse's body for a forensic examination and did a positive DNA match to known relatives and discovered a bullet hole in the back of skull.


Hey, Jesse James escaped and lived under an assumed identity.
Lee Harvey Oswald escaped and lived under an assumed identity.
John Wilkes Booth escaped and lived under an assumed identity.
John Kennedy escaped and lived under an assumed identity.
Elvis escaped and lived under an assumed identity.

See a pattern there?

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2010

EXCERPT: "Now, it's time to expose Rushdoony some more and his ideological sons.
There is that link between some Minutemen, neo-Nazis, white supremacists,
Malthusian population control adovcates, and Dominionist groups like the Council
for National Policy or the CNP. So, this real fifth column wants to radicalize
activist and demonize real Patriots trying to make reforms ion society.
Balkaznization of countries by the elite existed for thousands of years. That is
why it isn't suprising that such groups want to balkanize America, so the
constitutional government is gone, and the new world order is really formed.
These neo-Confederate reactionaries act as libertarians, but they advocate
totalitarianism in a slick package. Rousas J. Rushdoony and Gary North promote
anti-religious liberty doctrine that exploits spirituality at the expense of
human freedom. Thomas E. Wood Jr. believes in the league of the South. It's a
group that promote Anglo-Celtic supremacy and promotes the Confederacy. Gary
North has been working with the CNP in the 1980's and the 1990's. Other CNP
people are Marvin Olasky, Howard Ahmanson Jr., and the late Dr. D. James
Kennedy. North promotes the heresy of Christian Reconstrcutionism that created
Dominionism (CNP member Rushdoony loves Dominionism). Rushdoony advocated
segregation, opposed interracial marriage, and promote Confedrate nationalism.
Neo-Confederates are in the von Mises Institute. People know that the
Confederacy wanted to preserved slavery. They had ties to the Knights of the
Golden Circle. Suspected KGC member John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham
Lincoln in a conspiracy. Anton Chaitkin wrote about Pike working with Mazzini.
Anton wrote that Pike was a racist, tried to get rid of free black people from
Arkansas and supported the Know Nothings (an anti-legal immigration policy).
Pike was a Confederate Army General. Ironically, the Scottish Rite Journal in
1950 called the Anglo-Saxons as the race to promtoe the novus Ordo Seclorum or
the new age. That is why black folks couldn't join the Scottish Rite Freemasons
in high number until the late 1980's and early 1990's. The neo-Confederates
worked with the robber barons to oppress minorities and the poor of many colors.
That's their job. Their job is to hate people and oppress people of every
background. So, we should oppose this evil."


MASONRY'S RELATIONSHIP TO THE MAFIA AND THE KU KLUX KLAN
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/freemasons.htm

EXCERPt: "Giuseppe Mazzini, a Thirty-Third Degree Mason, founded a group of
revolutionaries called Young Italy. Their goal was to free Italy from the
control of monarchy and the Pope. They succeeded, and Mazzini is honored as a
patriot in Italy. However, in the process, the Mafia was born. The Young Italy
revolutionaries needed money, and they:

"...supported themselves by robbing banks, looting or burning businesses if
protection money was not paid, and kidnapping for ransom. Throughout Italy the
word spread that "Mazzini autorizza furti, incendi e attentati," meaning,
'Mazzini authorizes theft, arson, and kidnapping.' This phrase was shortened to
the acronym, M.A.F.I.A. Organized crime was born." (John Daniel, "Scarlet and
the Beast," Vol. I., pages 330-331)

Albert Pike was Grand Commander the Thirty-Third Degree, as well as Grand
Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. He
was also a Confederate general. Pike was influenced by Mazzini.

When the Confederacy surrendered to the Union forces, Albert Pike was determined
to start another Civil War so that South could win. He founded the Ku Klux Klan,
which instigated riots throughout the South in an attempt to disrupt
reconstruction and incite a second Civil War. Pike gave Klansman Jesse James the
assignment of robbing Northern banks in order to get money to fund this war. It
is estimated that Jesse James and other Klansmen buried seven billion dollars in
gold all over the western states. ("Scarlet and the Beast," Vol. 3, pages 76-77)

"Pike the old Confederate general, was a wily strategist who knew that if he
could leave behind a secret terrorist society in the south to fight against
freedom for black people as a rear guard action, the south's defeat might not be
in vain." ("Masonry," page 192)

Two books from the turn of the twentieth century document Pike's direct
involvement in founding the Klan: "Ku Klux Klan: Its' Origin, Growth and
Disbandment" (1905) by J. C. Lester and D. L. Wilson; and "Authentic History: Ku
Klux Klan 1865-1877" (1924) by Susan Lawrence Davis." ("Scarlet and the Beast,"
Vol. 3, page 76)

In considering this, we should remember that Mazzini and Pike probably saw what
they did as doing "whatever it takes" to accomplish goals that were important to
them. This is a practical application of the philosophy that "the end justifies
the means". Mazzini successfully used guerilla warfare and civil disruption to
instigate a civil war in Italy, in order to win freedom from control by the
monarchy and the papacy. Pike attempted to do a similar kind of thing in the
South, in order to win freedom from control by the North, but he failed."

MASONS

K.G.C.

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

Personally, I am 100% convinced that the order of MASONS ( Freemasonry ) influenced the KGC ( and their methods of operation ) greatly. I think there is overwhelming evidence that the Masons and the KGC can be considered " one and the same."

Read through these links on Masons and see what YOU think ! Many of the so-called KGC treasure signs and symbols can be linked to Masons.

Albert Pike is considered to be one of the "founders" of Masons in the United States and I believe there is enough evidence to connect him to the KGC.

Masons, Templars, Illuminati, Brotherhood---ALL related in some way !

Conspiracies ? YES ! World domination ? MAYBE !

There is a LOT of information in these websites for you to study and try to absorb. Of course: this is NOT everything on the internet on this subject. By conducting your own research you will find many other good links.

CCC,

I'm pleased you have taken steps to preserve this data and are making it
available to others who may want to check it out. I do want to point out however
that Floyd is well and in good spirits. I spoke with him this morning and he has
been busy caring for Tara (his wife) who has been ill since March. She is in the
hospital and we are praying that she will return home next week.

I will post another announcement about Floyd's two available websites if any
members here are interested.

My best to everyone,

Greetings,

Hello all. Being the 18th of December I hope all of us are prepared for
Christmas and have some idea about your New Year's resolution. Speaking with
Floyd this morning he asked me to let everyone know that he will not be picking
up his KGC Website, or his Lost Treasure USA site and they are available to who
ever wants them. Those Websites are:

Knights of the Golden Circle at: http://knightsofthegoldencircle-kgc.com
Lost Treasure USA at: http://www.losttreasureusa.com

You will need to contact the administrator at Go Daddy for info. on the KGC
site, and Web Market Places about the LostTreasureUSA site. Floyd believes the
web hosting fees due to maintain either site is about $40. If you have any
questions please contact me.

I'd like to point out that this Yahoo Forum, All Treasure Tales USA once
belonged to Floyd and I agreed to take it over. In doing so I was able to add
thousands of U.S. based treasure leads to my archive which now numbers around
27,000.

It has been my intention to try and make available to members those leads, but
writing my 2nd book makes this impossible at this time as I am under contract
with a publishing house with a deadline in 4 months. So I'm busy. But this is my
hope for the future.

Also member, cccalco, or CCC, just announced he has preserved all the archived
data from Floyd's KGC site and will make it available as well. We have much to
thank Floyd for and I will keep him and Tara in my prayers and ask others to do
the same.

May you all have a great holiday season and make 2011 the year you cash in on
the "big one!" Look for additional upgrades to this site around the summer of
2011. When my books done. ;-)

Hey Dan,

Good to hear from you buddy! Hey my new book is NOT related to THing
unfortunately. When I'm not researching & writing for Lost Treasure I'm a county
historian and have lectured on the California Gold Rush. My book is simply
entitled: El Dorado County. It will cover the county's first 100 years of
existence.

My 3rd book is planned to be a biography on James B. Hume, the famous Wells
Fargo Chief of Detectives. Before Hume went to work for Wells Fargo he started
his law enforcement career in Placerville, aka: Hangtown. He was first employed
by the Placerville PD around 1860 and went on to become Sheriff of El Dorado
County by 1868.

I have researched Hume's earliest years in law enforcement in post Gold Rush era
El Dorado County. As a rookie cop he had the best intentions which frequently
back-fired on him resulting in some very funny and very scary moments. But he
overcame and went on to become one of the most brilliant American detectives in
history, and was the first to use ballistic evidence in a California courtroom.

I find it compelling that he was a man who never pulled his guns once during his
30+ years in the saddle while in the employ of Wells Fargo, except to hand them
over to some road agent that had stopped the stage he was a passenger in while
he slept. At any rate while a rookie in El Dorado County he was involved with
several hilarious gunfights where he was usually on the loosing end, and he even
took a bullet once.

For a title I'm leaning towards "Hangtown Lawman," what do you think? (If you're
reading this feel free to chime in on ur option to as this is a public forum.)

My 4th book (if I live so long) will be on THing. But it's a while off yet. And
somewhere in-between I need to overhaul my Tahoe THing book as it requires some
long overdue editing.

Have a good weekend Dan and may you & yours have a Merry Christmas, or a Happy
Holiday season, which ever applies.

Hangman

Sounds great!  How many copies would you guess the El Dorado County book is good for?  Are you doing it through Lulu? 

I self-publish my books, and nobody sells them but me.  Because of that, sales are slow, but I get to have personal contact with every single customer. 

And here's the kicker:  If I sold my books through a publisher, I'd make about a dollar a copy, and after a year (assuming they are remaindered), I'd make nothing per copy. 

By doing it all myself, I make about $16 per copy, and they are never remaindered.  So I can sell 1/16 of the books a publisher would have to sell to make the same amount of profit. 

I learned how to do this, by the way, from John Reed:

My 4th book (if I live so long) will be on THing. But it's a while off yet. And somewhere in-between I need to overhaul my Tahoe THing book as it requires some long overdue editing.

Have a good weekend Dan and may you & yours have a Merry Christmas, or a Happy Holiday season, which ever applies.

    Hey this is Mark palmer, a friend and partner of Jerrolds. I've met Floyd Mann on numerous occasions and count him as a friend as well. Hope his wife is doing well as well as Floyd. Tell him I said Hi if you talk to him.
    Down here in the nice and warm Caballo Mountains as the north of NM and the rest of the US is in a deep freeze. 50-60 degrees days and high 70's next week. Gone THing!!!
    I read about your up and coming book about El Dorado county. I have a book about Placerville that was written quite a few years ago. It has a yellow cover and I believe the title has Placerville in the title. Any  way it has a funny story about the the hanging judge called Judge Lynch.
    One day in court a defendant was telling his story. Judge Lynch becoming infuriated with the defendants story, slams his gavel down and declares the court in recess. He looks over at the defendant and tells him, "You're a damn liar!" He slams his gavel back down and declares the court is back in session!
    This book is around some where in my RV. I've got to do some spring cleaning soon. If you do not have a copy of this book, let me know. I would be glad to find it and send it to you.
    I'm the guy who sells root beer as a living. To commerate the life and times of Judge Lynch, I've developed a label for my whisky flask that I sell root beer in.
    It's titled; Judge Lynch's Rot Gut Whiskey. The brew that made drinking dangerous!
If blindness persist, see a real physician. LOL

Hey Dan,

Good to hear from you buddy! Hey my new book is NOT related to THing
unfortunately. When I'm not researching & writing for Lost Treasure I'm a county historian and have lectured on the California Gold Rush. My book is simply entitled: El Dorado County. It will cover the county's first 100 years of existence.

My 3rd book is planned to be a biography on James B. Hume, the famous Wells Fargo Chief of Detectives. Before Hume went to work for Wells Fargo he started his law enforcement career in Placerville, aka: Hangtown. He was first employed by the Placerville PD around 1860 and went on to become Sheriff of El Dorado County by 1868.

I have researched Hume's earliest years in law enforcement in post Gold Rush era El Dorado County. As a rookie cop he had the best intentions which frequently back-fired on him resulting in some very funny and very scary moments. But he overcame and went on to become one of the most brilliant American detectives in history, and was the first to use ballistic evidence in a California courtroom.

I find it compelling that he was a man who never pulled his guns once during his 30+ years in the saddle while in the employ of Wells Fargo, except to hand them over to some road agent that had stopped the stage he was a passenger in while he slept. At any rate while a rookie in El Dorado County he was involved with several hilarious gunfights where he was usually on the loosing end, and he even took a bullet once.

For a title I'm leaning towards "Hangtown Lawman," what do you think? (If you're reading this feel free to chime in on ur option to as this is a public forum.)

Howdy Mark,

Floyd is fine, his wife Tara has been going through a difficult time though. He
has dropped everything to care for her. She is in the hospital today, but hopes
are she'll be home this week. It would be very nice for everyone if she were
home for Christmas / Holidays and I'm praying that this happens. I will tell him
that you send your best to them Mark.

You've got my curiosity about your Placerville book. I have built up a decent
library on El Dorado County here at home, but without knowing the title I can't
say if I have the book or not. But there are many I'd like to have that are
out-of-print so let me know when you find it please.

The Caballo's sounds great about now. Our first storm left us in 3 1/2 feet of
snow. Followed by this latest storm which has been dumping a hard rain now for 4
straight days. But I love the mountains so I can't bitch.

My best to you and yours Mark and may you have a holiday.

Dan,

My first book was self published through Lulu and like you I sell it... sort of.
I haven't tried to push the book, that wasn't the reason I created it. I created
it to see if I could complete a book using Lulu's system. And I did. The truth
is the book needs work.

All the info. in it is correct as far as the text goes, but there are some
errors to be corrected in layout. I also want to replace some of the images I
used in order to bring the book into the Chicago Standard
for writers / publishers. Then once done I planned to market it to publishers,
but who's got time.

My new book I'm doing under contract with a major publisher. I hope to see it in
stores in the summer of 2011. The publisher will handle all marketing,
advertising, and schedule my book signings. They also take care of the
"official" paperwork to obtain the copyright on my behalf.

Thanks for the info. on John Reed I will check him out.

Greetings,

(Sunday Afternoon - 12-19-10)

I just got word from Floyd Mann that he saw Tara this morning and she is in good
spirits. Medical gear will be delivered to their home Monday and Tara is due to
go home sometime thereafter. Keep them in your prayers as they certainly need
them.

*Now I just got called that a gal whose a good friend had a huge tree go down
and destroyed her neighbors house and her deck. Since they live in a duplex the
damage was literally feet away from her. So I'm en-route there now. Hope
everyone is having a better day.

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE
 
Most stories about the KGC concern the fact that a bunch of loyal Confederates started stashing loot and supplies to get ready for a second Civil War---which the SOUTH would win !
 
These depositories might be worth TRILLIONS of dollars today. There are so many possible clues to KGC depositories within the stories of the Civil War that a researcher needs to study the Civil War as much as they can.
 
On this page I have listed just a tiny amount of the websites available concerning the Civil War. As you read through these sites you will be directed to more and more sites. You would probably never be able to read them all, but: you CAN learn some valuable clues !
 
This category of this website is hard to categorize. There are so many aspects of the Civil War.
 
Look for clues of money shipments being moved and/or lost. I'm assuming that MOST people are interested in the KGC because of the possibility of learning how to find some of their secreted treasure.
 
Some of these links concern the Indians, Blacks, Outlaws, Booth, Lincoln and other people who figured into our history books during ( or around ) the Civil War. They are ALSO associated with the KGC !
 
CIVIL WAR RELATED LINKS:

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

Personally, I am 100% convinced that the order of MASONS ( Freemasonry ) influenced the KGC ( and their methods of operation ) greatly. I think there is overwhelming evidence that the Masons and the KGC can be considered " one and the same."

Read through these links on Masons and see what YOU think ! Many of the so-called KGC treasure signs and symbols can be linked to Masons.

Albert Pike is considered to be one of the "founders" of Masons in the United States and I believe there is enough evidence to connect him to the KGC.

Masons, Templars, Illuminati, Brotherhood---ALL related in some way !

Conspiracies ? YES ! World domination ? MAYBE !

There is a LOT of information in these websites for you to study and try to absorb. Of course: this is NOT everything on the internet on this subject. By conducting your own research you will find many other good links.

Dear Connecticut Sam:

 

I have ran several web sites in the past and seeing as how I am now officially 65 I need to retire and devote a bit more time to one of my major interests.  Metal Detecting.  What exactly was knights of the golden circle web site?  Lost treasureusa is pretty self explanatory.  I think I would be interested in taking on the lost treasureusa site and I would be interested in knowing what the other site consisted of.  Thanks for your time and effort  in providing me with any information you may have.  I already have several web sites hosted with godaddy so I am familiar with their facility.

Dear Anthony,

As far as I know you can contact Go Daddy about paying the $40. to keep the
Website online, and take it over. You'll need to start there and see what has to
be done. Best of luck.

William "Wild Bill" Lincoln

EXCERPT: "The article concerns the legendary Wild West lawman Pat Garrett, who
gunned down the legendary Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid -- except that it seems
as though that story may not actually be true. According to the Times article,
"modern science is about to touch Garrett's fame in a way that some say could
expose him as a liar who covered up a murder to save his reputation."

The scenario being investigated is that Garrett killed the wrong man and then
covered that fact up to save his own skin. A more likely scenario though is that
Garrett actively conspired with the Kid to fake his death, after assisting him
in making an escape. The Times piece acknowledges that one enduring story "holds
that Garrett and the Kid may have been in cahoots for some reason and that
Garrett had stashed a gun in the outhouse at the jail that the Kid used to kill
the deputies and escape." Just weeks after that escape was when Garrett
supposedly killed the Kid.

But according to sources cited in the Times article, and elsewhere, the Kid may
have lived to the ripe old age of 90, after taking the name "Brushy" Bill
Roberts. Roberts died in 1950, shortly after his photo appeared in the January
21, 1950 edition of the San Antonio Express: (PHOTO) Roberts is the gentleman
standing in the center of the photo. To his right, seated, is Colonel James R.
Davis, who claimed to be a former U.S. Marshal for the Cherokee Indian Nation.
Davis was 109 when this photo was taken. To Roberts' left, lying in bed, is
102-year-old J. Frank Dalton. Dalton claimed to have been an even more notorious
Wild West outlaw than Billy the Kid: Jesse James.

And that brings us to our topic for this outing: the strange and twisted tale of
the man known as Jesse James. I actually started to write on this topic last
year, So let me now dust off that discarded missive and present it here for your
reading pleasure.

But wait a minute, you're thinking, what does Jesse James have to do with
gaining an understanding of twenty-first century U.S. politics? What does
America's most famous outlaw have to do with contemporary 'conspiracy theory'?
Where is the relevance? What, as my mother used to say, does Jesse James have to
do with the price of tea in China?

I'm not really sure why mom used to say that, just as I am not sure why any
statement by me or my siblings that began with the words "I want ... " would get
the response: "That's too bad; people in Hell want ice water." Apparently during
the 1960s and 1970s there was some sort of logistical problem with getting
adequate supplies of ice water to Hell, but I never really understood why that
meant that I couldn't have a BB gun.

But none of that really has anything to do with this story.

The question here is: what is to be gained from examining the life of Jesse
James? If this was to be a standard recitation of the life of the Wild West's
most notorious figure, then the answer would be: not much. But this isn't the
account of Jesse's life that has passed into popular mythology; this is the
account of Jesse's life that was told by his grandson.

If this account is accurate, and much of it does have a ring of truth to it,
then it illustrates once again the extent to which the official history of this
country is nothing but a tangled web of lies. But how much of this story is
true? That, alas, is difficult to determine. When the lies run so deep, when
they have been repeated so frequently as to become a faux reality - a collective
hallucination - then it is a daunting task finding anything close to the truth.
But whether true or not, it is a story that is too good to not pass along.

This story was published nearly three decades ago, by Jesse James III and a
writer by the name of Del Schrader, under the title Jesse James Was One of His
Names (the title refers to the claim that James operated under some six dozen
assumed identities). The book is all but impossible to find today.

Before we get to the alternative history, let's first review the facts of
Jesse's life that are generally agreed upon. Jesse James was the second son born
to a Baptist minister named Robert James and his wife, born Zerelda Cole Mimms.
The couple's first-born son was Alexander Franklin James, better known as Frank.
Frank entered this world on January 10, 1843, and Jesse followed on September 5,
1847.

Robert James died when the boys and a younger sister were still very young. In
1855, Zerelda married again, to a wealthy doctor, landowner, and slave owner
named Rueben Samuels. Six years later, the South seceded from the Union, forming
the Confederate States of America, and the bloody American Civil War began.

At the onset of war, Frank James joined an elite Confederate military unit known
as Quantrill's Raiders, and brother Jesse, who wasn't yet 18 when the Civil War
ended, soon followed suit. The 200-man force, led by homicidal schoolteacher
William Quantrill, included an elite sub-group led by the possibly even more
homicidal William "Bloody Bill" Anderson.

Anderson once reportedly lined up a group of captured Union soldiers and
personally executed all twenty-six of them. Included in his elite unit were such
luminaries as Thomas Coleman "Cole" Younger and, of course, the James brothers.
These men, and the rest of the Raiders, made a name for themselves during the
war by repeatedly perpetrating massacres of both soldiers and civilians. The
Raiders' most notorious act was the August 21, 1863 burning and pillaging of
Lawrence, Kansas that left more than 150 unarmed civilians dead.

After the war, the James brothers and various others embarked upon a life of
crime in the Wild West, robbing banks and trains and stagecoaches and doing all
the other sorts of things that the Wild West outlaws were supposed to have done,
just like they do in the books that we have all read and in the movies and
television shows that we have all seen.

In April 1874, Jesse's uncle, Methodist minister William James, officiated at
the wedding of Jesse to his cousin, Zerelda Amanda Mimms -- not to be confused,
of course, with his mother, Zerelda Cole Mimms. Frank took as his bride a young
schoolteacher named Anna Ralston.

Meanwhile, local authorities and the notorious Pinkerton organization -
forerunner of the modern FBI - relentlessly pursued the James Gang in a
cat-and-mouse game that now captures the imaginations of millions of Americans
who are prone to view the James brothers as romantic anti-heroes.

In an example of law enforcement excess from the days of yore, the Pinkertons
once reportedly tossed a bomb into the Samuels' family home. Frank and Jesse
weren't there, but the blast reportedly killed their disabled half-brother and
blew off one of their mother's arms.

Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden ultimately put a $10,000 price tag on the
James brothers' heads -- an unprecedented reward in those days. Jesse was
allegedly shot in the back by the Ford brothers, Charles and Robert, on April 3,
1882. He was buried on the Samuels' farm. Frank reportedly attended the
services, alongside a veritable army of law enforcement officers, even though he
was wanted "dead or alive" at the time.

Frank later surrendered to authorities and was brought to trial for his crimes;
he was twice acquitted of all charges brought against him. Frank James remained
a free man until his death in 1915. Charlie Ford, meanwhile, caught a bullet to
the head, while brother Bob met up with a fatal shotgun blast.

All of that, alas, can be found in official retellings of the legend of the
larger-than-life Wild West outlaw known as Jesse James. But that isn't quite the
whole story, at least not according to Jesse James III and a number of witnesses
cited in the James/Schrader book.

Jesse, you see, was a member of an occult-based 'secret society,' The Knights of
the Golden Circle, that formed the core of the massive intelligence apparatus
assembled by the Confederacy. Other key members of the order were President of
the Confederacy Jefferson Davis, Albert Pike (a notorious occultist who has been
credited with playing a key role in the creation of the Ku Klux Klan), and
Captain William Clarke Quantrill, whose Raiders were essentially an early
version of an elite, 'Special Forces' unit.

The South did in fact have an extensive intelligence infrastructure. And Albert
Pike was a key figure in that intelligence network. The only real news here is
the claim that Jesse James was a key figure within that intelligence community
as well. And, of course, the business about The Knights of the Golden Circle.

Schrader claims, quite credibly, that the Confederate intelligence network did
not simply disappear with the official end of the war; it remained largely
intact and continued to fight the war from 'underground' for another two
decades. And it continued to be under the control of the Knights of the Golden
Circle. Jesse James remained a key figure.

The James Gang's train and bank robberies, it is claimed, were fundraising
operations to finance the activities of the Knights of the Golden Circle, as
well as to wreak general havoc with the plans of the Northern
reconstructionists. James is also said to have been involved in supplying
weapons and training to the Plains Indians, as a means of waging proxy war
against the Union Army.

In 1861, at the onset of the Civil War, populist Benito Juarez had been legally
elected president of Mexico. While his imperialist northern neighbor was
preoccupied with waging a brutal war of self-destruction, Juarez set about
instituting a number of reforms that proved to be popular with the Mexican
people, but not so popular with the Western powers. In 1864, French forces
dispatched by Napoleon III deposed Juarez and installed Maximilian as Emperor of
Mexico. Maximilian, the brother of Austria's Emperor, Francis Joseph, had
previously been the Archduke of Austria.

After the Civil War ended, Maximilian's unstable puppet regime continued to be
threatened by forces loyal to Juarez. According to the Schrader book, a force
composed of 2,000 Missouri cavalrymen and a regiment of Confederate-led Red Bone
Indians was dispatched to Mexico in support of Maximilian. When this force ran
into stiff resistance, an elite force was sent to the rescue; that force was led
by Captain William Quantrill and Colonel Jesse James.

History books say that Maximilian was executed by firing squad on June 19, 1867,
after being captured by Juarez loyalists. Schrader and James claim that he was
rescued by the James/Quantrill team and transported back to the States, where he
lived out his life under the name John Maxi. The James' team also allegedly
transported a vast amount of plundered wealth back to the States, for which they
were richly rewarded by Maximilian.

James is said to have been one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in
America, even before being rewarded by Maximilian. He is said to have invested
heavily in the Texas oil boom, and to have provided financial backing for the
Hughes Tool Company, founded by Howard Hughes, Sr., and the Ford Motor Company,
founded by Henry Ford.

The most fascinating part of the Jesse James story, as presented by James III
and Schrader, concerns another rather notorious figure in American history whose
death has been called into question by numerous researchers: John Wilkes Booth.

An inconvenient and therefore unmentionable fact is that Booth was not acting as
a lone assailant when he shot President Lincoln; he was acting as part of a
larger conspiracy, as was openly acknowledged at the time. No fewer than six
additional conspirators were brought to trial; four received death sentences and
two were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Booth, of course, never stood trial. He was allegedly killed by agents who were
attempting to capture him. Schrader and James, and numerous others, say that
Booth's death was faked to allow him to escape prosecution and punishment. They
also say that Booth, like James, was an agent of the Confederate intelligence
services.

Booth is said to have functioned as a courier -- and his career, it must be
said, would have provided the ideal cover for such activities. It will be
recalled that Booth was one of the most popular actors of his day. As such, he
traveled extensively with various productions, and therefore had the unusual
ability to move rather freely between North and South.

The story goes that after killing Lincoln, Booth was given safe passage to Texas
by the Confederate underground. Once there, he took the name John St. Helen and
worked as a bartender. A problem arose, however, when Booth developed a drinking
problem, and with it a tendency to shoot off his mouth about the life he used to
lead.

Booth, in other words, became a liability that had to be dealt with. Sent to
deal with the problem was none other than Jesse James, accompanied by William
"Wild Bill" Lincoln, a distant cousin of the slain former president. The pair
tracked Booth to Enid, Oklahoma, where he was poisoned.

Now I will be the first to admit that the claim that famed Wild West outlaw
Jesse James was sent as an assassin to 'neutralize' notorious presidential
assassin John Wilkes Booth seems a little, shall we say, iffy. Strangely enough
though, the authors back that incredible claim up with a sworn statement by
William "Wild Bill" Lincoln:

"Our branch of the Lincoln family was never satisfied with what really happened
to Booth, and I spent fourteen years of my life running down the true story.
Strangely enough, I learned it from Jesse W. James, head of the Confederate
underground. I was present at Booth's real death."

So there you have it -- the Jesse James story from a slightly different
perspective than it is normally told. I leave it to each of you to decide for
yourselves whether to file this one in the 'truth is stranger than fiction'
file, or in the circular file. Meanwhile, I've got to move on to other things -"

Greetings,

It looks almost certain that within the next 15 hours we will all leave 2010
behind and tomorrow we all begin anew in the new year of 2011. Has anyone made
their New Year's resolutions? If not you may want to start thinking about them
very soon. Most people blow off their NY Resolutions shortly after the holiday.
That's because some of us tend to make unrealistic resolutions that we should
have realized were to lofty to begin with. They sound great when you're drunk,
laughing with friends, and partying like its 1999, but after the holiday cheer
ends and we're back to the grind it starts to sink in that maybe steeling the
Hope diamond from the Smithsonian Institute wasn't all that great of a New Years
resolution.

And we all know the smoker or drinker whose going to quit cigarettes, or juicing
with 151. With everything we know today about cigarettes and the long-term
effects of liquor, I figure folks who drink and smoke want to drink and smoke
and I say let em enjoy it. Know one wants to see their best buddy at the New
Years party [Tonight] with a stogy hanging out of their mouth and a bottle of
White Lightening in their hand, stumbling around drunk and telling everyone
"THIS IS IT!!! After Mid-night its all over!!! Yeah... No more booze and smokes
for me!!! It's clean living and good times from here on out!!!"

Trust me the next time you see your buddy after tonight, he'll probably be
sitting in Joe's Bar sipping and a Rum & Coke and smoking his Marlboro's. I
wouldn't bring up his New Years resolution at that point, I'm sure he's been
kicking himslef in the ass about everyday since Jan. 01, 2011.

I recommend less life-altering goals for your 2011 resolutions. Think about
little things you'd like to see get done, things you can accomplish on your own
without needing a million bucks, impossible odds, or the chance for a long
prison term.

Such as... Yank the batteries out of your detector this year before they corrode
sitting in your closet all winter. Or, if there is one specific site or treasure
that you've always thought... "One day I'm going to study up on this treasure /
site and go see if I can find it." Chances are you hunt pretty close to home and
re-target some of the same sites year after year.

So don't spend another year doing the same. Act now, research that site that
you've always been curious about. Map the site out and read everything you can
to make you the best historian on your subject. Then when it warms up make plans
to take a trip to your site. Plan to camp or hotel it for a few days, make a fun
trip of it with family or your THing buddy.

Even if you don't find a damn thing... NO PROBLEM! You have accomplished the
research you've set aside year after year, you've visited the site and conducted
some sort of a search. You can make future plans to return and expand your
search area perhaps, so take sometime while there to contact local historians
about your subject matter. You may learn some interesting things, perhaps obtain
a new lead. You never know until you do it.

And there is my point. Depression, winter time blues, a crap economy,
trouble in North Korea, WHO CARES! They'll still be their when you get home. Do
this for yourself... you'll be happy you did.

Happy New Years from us at ATTUSA!

Now from Floyd & Tara.

I heard from Floyd this morning and overall the news is good. Since Tara came
home just before Christmas she has had some difficulties and will be returning
shortly to the hospital for a minor surgery to install her permanent "TRACH."
Once completed without any problems she should be returning home again hopefully
back on her feet. We wish the Mann's both a quick and easy recovery for Tara and
some quieter, less strenuous days for Floyd.

Over the holidays Tara has been talking with friends and relatives, and her
cousin is coming in from Nebraska on Saturday 01-01-11. I hear both really enjoy
crossword puzzles. Knock em' dead Tara!! You're in our thoughts and hearts!

My best,
The Hangman

$2,000,000 in James Boys Loot? (Part 1)

$2,000,000 in James Boys Loot?
 
There's a lost treasure tale concerning Jesse and Frank James that's been circulating now for at least as long as 80 plus years, if not longer. The real eye opener on this one is not so much that the James Boys were supposedly involved but that the trove that they buried and subsequently never recovered contains at least $2,000,000 in stolen "goodies."
 
Yep, you heard right...two million dollars. The only other James Boys cache I know of that approximates this high-dollar amount is one that is ostensibly buried here in New Mexico where I live. But that's another story entirely. By the way, don't bother looking for the latter trove...I already recovered it (yep, and I was once the King of Spain too!).
 
As the famed treasure yarn author J. Frank Dobie once wrote, "The James gang robbed not to live; they lived to rob, and they robbed on a magnificent scale." Dobie is correct in this regard, but whether the "magnificent scale" he mentions includes the heist of a cool $2,000,000 by the James Boys is open to debate. You see, there is nothing to verify this legend in the way of hard facts.
 
The Boys Just Got Lucky
 
Exactly how, where, and when Frank and Jesse pulled off a $2,000,000 robbery is lost in the fog of time and in the telling of this tale over the years. There are those who believe this vast amount of money was accumulated over time in numerous small bank and train robberies.
 
Then there are others who say that the James Boys (and their gang) intercepted a Mexican transport train on its way to Saint Louis, Missouri. In the latter case the James gang is said to have had no prior intelligence or knowledge that the Mexicans were carrying this much in gold, silver, and other valuables...the boys just got lucky.
 
Are There Other Parts to this Treasure Puzzle?
 
After they pulled off the heist, the James Boys (all by their lonesomes) are said to have buried their ill-gotten gains somewhere in or near southwestern Oklahoma's Wichita Mountains. More specifically, this trove is said to be stashed along the road or highway leading from Fort Sill northeast to the Keeche Hills.
 
In the old days, this sort of waybill to a buried cache might have made sense. But in today's world with private land ownership and extensive land development, and the growth of the area mentioned in general, these directions to the possible location of this treasure trove leave much to be desired.
 
The most pertinent question that needs to asked here is, "How could Frank and Jesse bury $2,000,000 in stolen loot and never recover it?" Are there other parts to this treasure puzzle? Or, can we throw in the proverbial kitchen sink and propose the theory that this stash was meant as a Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) repository?
 
There's more to come so stay tuned. Until then, good hunting to you.

6. THE KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE
 
Famous Members

The Knights of the Golden Circle was a secret society that flourished in the
U.S. during the American Civil War. In the beginning, the group sought to
encourage the annexation of Mexico and the West Indies, which they believed
would help the waning slave trade to once again flourish. But once the Civil War
started, the group switched its focus from colonialism to fervent support of the
newly established Confederate government. The Knights soon had thousands of
followers, many of whom formed guerilla armies and began raiding Union
strongholds in the West. In the Northern states, the mysterious order had an
even bigger impact. Many newspapers and public figures engaged in witch-hunts
where they accused supposed Southern sympathizers, including President Franklin
Pierce, of being members of the Knights of the Golden Circle.
 
Secret Practices
 
Unlike most secret societies, the Golden Circle didn't just concern itself with
clandestine meetings and mysterious plans. Instead, the group often formed
renegade armies and bands of bushwhackers in order to forward their agenda by
force. In 1860, a group of the Knights made a failed attempt to invade Mexico.
During the war, they robbed stagecoaches and attempted a blockade of the harbor
in San Francisco, and a group of them even managed to briefly take control of
southern New Mexico.

Brad Meltzer’s ‘Decoded’ Hunts For Confederate Gold Treasure
By Andrew Zarowny
Friday, December 31st, 2010
http://law.rightpundits.com/?p=2677
 
Brad Meltzer’s ‘Decoded’ team were at it again last night on the History Channel, this time hunting for missing Confederate gold treasure. In the waning days of the Confederacy, it’s president, Jefferson Davis, ordered that the Confederate Treasury move all of it’s gold and silver out of Richmond, Virginia. Estimated to be valued at some $500,000 at the time and considerably more today. The banks in Richmond also shipped their gold and silver, too, estimated to be around $9 Million dollars worth back then.
 
The treasure was to be hidden and later used to raise a fresh army and continue the fight against the Union. Needless to say, things didn’t work out as planned. The ‘Decoded’ team split up to check out two locations where the Confederate treasure had been seen during it’s flight. In Danville, Virginia, the team meets up with Bob Brewer. He claims to be a descendent of a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, the KGC, which allegedly was charged by Jefferson Davis to hide the Confederate gold and silver.
 
Brewer tells the ‘Decoded’ team that he was taught about the KGC and is familiar with the code they used to mark their caches. He has been successful in locating several stashes of gold and silver in his native Arkansas, thanks to his ability to interpret KGC codes and a plastic template allegedly found in the trunk of a deceased ‘modern’ member of the KGC, which Brewer believes still exists to this day.
 
The Knights of the Golden Circle were a fun bunch. Founded in the 1850s, they schemed to take over the entire Caribbean and almost got their hands on the Yucatan Peninsula. During the War Between the States, the KGC plotted to kidnap Abraham Lincoln and send his severed head back to Washington, DC. While their base of support was very strong in the ‘Deep South’, they were known to have a strong following in some Northern states, like Pennsylvania.
 
The KGC code uses a combination of numbers, letters and symbols, like animals, and left markings on rocks and trees to denote the distance and direction to the next clue and eventually to their secret caches of loot. Brewer locates such symbols and characters on a tree at the Green Hill Cemetery in Danville, VA. After a couple of days of poking around, including the use of ground penetrating radar, they come up empty handed. However, Brewer is convinced that there is a cache somewhere in the area due to the KGC signs.
 
The other location, Washington, Georgia, has a more valid connection to the missing Confederate gold and silver treasure. There, Union troops actually did intercept and find about $100,000 worth of treasure, mostly silver coins. However, on the night of May 24th, 1865, a detail of five Union soldiers transporting the loot in two wagons were robbed near the Chennault Plantation in Lincoln (yes, Lincoln) County. The ambush was carried out by a group of Confederate veterans, whom oddly enough had earlier switched sides and joined the Union army.
 
The ambush and robbery was a messy affair, as the hijackers left thousands of silver coins on the ground in their haste. But since that night, the whereabouts of the stolen treasure is unknown. Naturally, the speculation is that the raiders were members of the KGC. The treasure of this lot was intended to be shipped overseas to France to fulfill a promise by Jefferson Davis to repay loans made to the Confederacy by France. Did it make it’s way to the French, courtesy of the KGC? Or was it already spent by the robbers? Nobody knows, at least nobody who is talking.
 
This episode of Brad Meltzer’s ‘Decoded’ on the History Channel was interesting in that we have here a genuine historical mystery. The idea of missing Confederate gold and silver treasure is perfect for those who fantasize about finding buried treasure. As for whether or not the Knights of the Golden Circle are still around these days, who can say? Unlike other secret societies, these guys would appear to be taking the secret part seriously. So break out the metal detectors and the bourbon, it’s time to do some treasure hunting and look for some lost Confederate gold!

very soon. Most people blow off their NY Resolutions shortly after the holiday.
That's because some of us tend to make unrealistic resolutions that we should
have realized were to lofty to begin with. They sound great when you're drunk,
laughing with friends, and partying like its 1999, but after the holiday cheer
ends and we're back to the grind it starts to sink in that maybe steeling the
Hope diamond from the Smithsonian Institute wasn't all that great of a New Years
resolution.

Gold metal detectors are used to find small and large gold nuggets. Small and slightly small gold nuggets can be detected at medium depths. Large gold nuggets are the most difficult to search and locate. Gold metal detectors have ground balance modes for alkali soils and black sands for smooth operation. The maximum sensitivity of a gold detector helps to locate small gold bits at greater depths. It can operate with ideal frequencies for locating gold nuggets. The search coil used in gold metal detectors is water proof. Additional features of gold metal detectors are meter display, manual group balancing adjustment and discrimination adjustment. These supplementary features vary with the technology used in each type.

Gold metal detectors are generally based on digital technology. They have automatic and manual modes. The auto-trac feature cancels the ground minerals in seconds and then tracks to the changing conditions. The features include iron audio signal, LCD display and bar graph. A microprocessor monitors and stores the ground mineralization value. The graph displays the percentage of probability of iron and the amount of magnetic minerals in the ground.

Advanced gold detectors have maximum depth and super sensitive features. They have digital ground balance with switchable speed recovery. The ultra high frequency gold metal detector is designed to find gold nuggets at greater depths. They use elliptical search coils. The features include high sensitivity, high operating frequency, iron discrimination and audio boost facility. The mineralization settings may be low, normal or high. They can operate in mineralized soil with a three position mineralization switch. Some of the advanced gold metal detectors have three modes for speed tracking. Slow, medium and fast tracking modes help to improve the detecting. Advanced gold detectors can also resist dust and moisture.

Some of the advanced gold metal detectors have manual tune control feature. The manual tuner helps to select various frequency bands. Multiple frequencies help to attain more depth, sensitivity and more accurate targets. The tune control minimizes electrical interference from power lines, radar and radio transmitters. Gold metal detectors are lightweight, water proof, cancel noise and have ground balance and on board computer chip.
