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.
