the rebels buried what was left of the Confederate treasury. Ever heard, "The South will rise again!" Well, that gold was what they planned to use in order to "rise again."
I guess the South never rose up again because they never found the gold...
They should have put our son in charge of the burial detail. He buried some gold pieces in Palo Duro Canyon one year so that our grandkids could search for buried treasure there the next year. Our son was smart enough to get GPS coordinates and give the coordinates to the grandkids. They still had to search - but our son never lost track of the gold!
Is Jefferson Davis' fortune in gold buried underground? Above ground in one of these mausoleums? Jesse James was a Confederate soldier, and some folks think he and his gang were funded in part by some of the Confederate gold. A million dollars in Confederate gold went to Canada, and some think it was used to pay John Wilkes Booth to do his dastardly deed. (I think he was just a fanatic along the lines of Lee Harvey Oswald.) But us mere mortals will probably never learn the answers to these mysteries.
I do have my friendly groundhog on the lookout for any nefarious goings-on around here, though:
