Rebel Gold
What if a secret society, founded during the Civil War, accumulated a fortune in gold coins in the hopes of
someday funding a second war between the states? What if they buried their treasure in a vast network of remote locations
across the South and the Southwestern United States, and appointed sentinels to guard them -- sentinels who passed the secrets
of this treasure from generation to generation? What if the keys to this fantastic treasure were hidden in a series of mysterious
coded maps? In "Rebel Gold," investigative journalist Warren Getler and Bob Brewer, a descendant
of one of the Confederate sentinels sworn to protect this treasure, uncover the truth behind the legend of this buried gold
and the group rumored to have hidden it, the Knights of the Golden Circle. A fast-paced blend of history and modern-day detective
story, Rebel Gold reveals a shadowy chapter in American history -- and how its legacy may be continuing to this day. Author:
Warren Getler, approx size 8.5" X 5.5", 320 pages, pub Jan 2005, trade paperback, non-fiction, Civil War history.
