* School teacher finds 54,000 in Civil War-era currency near Gettysburg.* Children find 5900 in gold coins in Florida.* Tree blown over by storm in Louisiana reveals Civil War plantation's jewels and silver.* Treasure hunter finds a silver plate and coins worth 24,000 in a park in the center of Roanoke.* Loot from John Hunt Morgan's raids never recovered.* Contents of the U.S. Mint in New Orleans never recovered after the Confederate occupation.* At least 150,000 from the Confederate treasury unaccounted for when Jefferson Davis was captured.Some of the legends about lost Civil War treasure have proven to be true in recent years. Today, a dedicated band of treasure hunters continue the search for the biggest hoards of gold, coins and relics of the Civil War era that have never been found.Civil War treasure hunter and historian W. Craig Gaines has produced a fascinating introduction to lost Civil War treasure, including a chapter and maps devoted to each of the forty states, as well as Mexico, the Bahamas and the West Indies, where lost treasures are said to be buried.Many tales of Civil War treasure belong in the realm of legendary and Gaines has carefully assembled the evidence to separate genuine incidents from fanciful. Each Civil War treasure tale is documented and has references for further research. Both the general Civil War enthusiast and the prospective treasure-hunter will be fascinated by these stories, including lost mines discovered during campaigns in the West, lost family treasures hidden from Union or Confederate raiders, sunken Confederate blockade-runners, lost payrolls of military units, and the missing loot from Confederate raids on the Colorado gold fields. The author has also drawn upon his many years' experience in research and exploration to provide an extensive guide to the world of the Civil War treasure and relic hunter, including journals, organizations, websites, government agencies, shops and manufacturers.

Exploring the American Civil War through 50 Historic Treasures brings together historic objects, documents, artwork, and the natural and built environments to tell the full story of this important event in American history. The American Civil War still matters. It matters because the war—its causes and its consequences— continue to influence America as a nation. At its core, the Civil War was about slavery. Began as a fight to secure the future of slavery, the Civil War resulted instead in the abolition of slavery. The complex racial issues at its core, however, remain with us today. Exploring the American Civil War through 50 Historic Treasures begins with the causes of the war, examining objects that tell the story of slavery and its expansion in the nineteenth century. Cultural treasures representing the war years explore the battlefield and the homefront and the men and women caught up in the war as well the ways in which the scale of the war forced technological innovations. Given the centrality of slavery, race, and emancipation in the story of the Civil War, one section presents objects that detail how free and enslaved blacks transformed the war effort and were in turn transformed by the war. In the final section, the historic treasures trace the ongoing impact of the war, including the dramatic increase in the removal of Confederate monuments in the summer of 2020. Each object's story is detailed with color photos that draw readers into the story of the American Civil War. Many of these objects appear here in print for the first time.

To a professional treasure hunter, the era of the Civil War is attractive in a number of ways. For one thing, many of the lost or cached military payrolls are documented, so the fortune at the end of the search remains a real one as opposed to a folklorical or mythical one. The truth is, there are millions of dollars worth of such payrolls waiting to be discovered. Further, recovered artifacts associated with both the Union and Confederate armies can sometimes yield impressively high values among collectors. Recovered weapons caches find a viable market. Most tales of lost mines and buried treasures are steeped in history and/or lore. The added element of the fascinating era of the Civil War adds a particular level of interest and excitement to the quest. For the first time, an exhaustively researched collection of some of the most notable lost treasures of the Civil War is presented in this book.

This book includes some startling information that has been brought to light recently that has led to investigating some of the old theories that have been taken for granted. For example: Were Jesse James and his gang members of the KGC? There is now good evidence that they were. Did they also bury some of their stolen loot to add to the KGC treasures that were being buried around the country to finance another Civil War? Again, there is good evidence that they did, especially since Jesse and his gang were devout Southerners. They were still angry over the outcome of the Civil War and were doing all they could to benefit the Confederacy. Did Bob Ford really shoot Jesse James? There is revealing new evidence in this book that he didn't! Maybe history should be rewritten! And what's the story on the old man who came to Lawton, Oklahoma in 1949. He said that he was the real outlaw, "Jesse James"--and had been living peaceably in Texas for many years under the alias of "J. Frank Dalton." He said that Bob Ford did not kill him, and that the whole thing had been a hoax so that he could escape from the law and Bob could claim the reward; although it was another person that was killed and buried in the grave in Missouri instead of him. The story does seem to fit with the circumstances. And interestingly enough, what does the name "J. Frank Dalton" reveal? It was noted that his body bore many signs that he had indeed lived a very rugged and dangerous life, including 32 scars from bullet wounds, scars around his neck from an attempted hanging, and burn marks around his feet caused by Union Soldiers when they tried to make him reveal where his older brother, Frank, was hiding, but Jesse never told them. Many people who had once known Jesse came to see and talk to the old man, and they all agreed that he really was Jesse James because they said that he knew information and could answer questions that only the real Jesse could have known. This book also shows numerous photos of the old man in Lawton. One chapter gives information about how a treasure hunter found one of the treasures that Jesse and his gang had buried near Lawton, Oklahoma. He found it by using several old maps. His interesting story is told, including photos of two of his maps. Another chapter gives important information on where to look for and how to recognize some KGC treasure signs. The Author can be seen on the recent History Channel's, two-hour special documentary: "Jesse James' Lost Treasure." He was also a consultant for the program.

The fate of the nation during the Civil War rested with a handful of political, military and cultural leaders. Some had formal wartime roles that demanded leadership of them; some had the challenges of leadership thrust upon them. Each vowed to create a more perfect country for their respective causes. All played a role in charting the future course of the nation during its greatest crisis. To honor the efforts of these extraordinary leaders, and to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg Foundation launched a special exhibit called Treasures of the Civil War: Legendary Leaders Who Shaped a War and a Nation, a distinctive collection of more than 90 artifacts and powerful displays, accompanied by this limited-edition gallery book. Treasures of the Civil War gives a rare glimpse into the professional and personal sides of several key wartime leaders--an up-close look at the giants who shaped today's America 150 years ago.

This is an incredible story about the little known and secret order of ?The Knights of the Golden Circle? during the Civil War period, their plans to start another war, and the huge treasures they left behind. But, they had started many years before the war began with bold plans of imperialism to gain more territory for our growing nation (which brought Texas into the Union), and also with amazing plans to annex Mexico. Later, they became devout believers in the rights of the southern cause and against the North imposing it's will against them. When the Civil War started, they resorted to drastic measures and went underground to oppose the North and the Union Army with secretive and bold actions, including sabotage, infiltration of the Government, and a very efficient spy network. Many top politicians, officials, and men of importance were members. They were so effective that President Lincoln once referred to them as a ?Fifth Column? which might have been the original use of the term. After the war was over, they refused to accept the terms of the surrender and started making plans to restart the war at a later date. But they needed a great amount of money and support. So they started collecting money, gold, silver, and jewelry, plus arms and ammunition, and buried them in many parts of the country in old mining tunnels, pits and holes that they dug, and then assigned armed sentries to protect them from being found. But by the time they had amassed their fortune and supplies, World War One brought an end to their plans. Also, most of them had died off anyway by then. But the treasures they buried, which some have estimated to be worth billions of dollars, is the stuff that dreams are made of to treasure hunters. The author, who is well-known in the field of treasure hunting, learned of this immense treasure years ago, and through his research has presented this information here - - not only bringing out this little known part of American history, but also has provided much information on the treasures, including some rare and never-before-published treasure maps of some of the treasure sites.
