The Quest for Confederate Treasure: The South(west) Will Rise Again

About this episode

The episode explores the quest for Confederate treasure, summarizing key stories and recent finds without revealing too much from the book 'Rebel Gold'.

After a few rewrites and edits, I have finally finished the third and final episode in the series over Confederate Treasure. Instead of telling the rest of the Rebel Gold story like I had planned, I decided to summarize a few parts without ruining it. I briefly talk about Bob’s adventures with the Wolf Map treasure of Oklahoma and the Lost Dutchman Mine in Arizona before imploring listeners to purchase Rebel Gold and reading it. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a ton of fun information and tantalizing clues, but after a discussion with author Warren Getler, I have decided not to ruin the book. I end the episode with two very recent finds in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Ohio Treasure was probably buried by the not assassinated Jesse James. Both are probably KGC related.
