Fellas, over the years I've explored just about every theory out there in regards to the Beale Papers and today I am 95% certain that if you really want to know the truth then you only need to find the history of the following man:
"I recommended to Mr. Hall, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Sherman, and those of Bolivar to keep to our promise and distribute the gold to the indicated places."
This is why John Sherman, the editor of Virginia Book & Job Print, had such a fascination with tales of treasure, because the story in the Beale Pamplet had been passed down to him through family ties. I think you'll find that the Galveston Sherman was directly related to the family of John Sherman. There are many reasons I feel this is the actual case, too many to explain here. But the "round trip" of it is this.....from Galveston we have a Sherman that is part of a documented secret gold distribution & in Virginia we have a Sherman who is involved in the publishing of a mysterious story about hidden wealth from the west during the exact period of the Galveston transfer. Find the above "Mr. Sherman" and I think you'll have a great start on the real story.

WHAT years are you talking about? 
And/or working with the Laffitte Bros.
BIG LIMB? 
As on Page 24? 
HA! THAT John Sherman (BEALE PAPERS) was John WILLIAM Sherman, born in 1859 or so... YOU tell ME! Read Page 24... 
Yes, that was the editor of the job print. But "Mr. Sherman" in connection with Galveston Island and the gold distributions in 1821? He's somewhere in John William Sherman's family history. "Mr. Sherman" of Galveston was the root source of the Beale story. John William Sherman wrote other fiction stories involving treasure, which is why many believe he wrote the "fictional" Beale Papers, but as it were, the Beale Papers wasn't exactly just another fictional tale. Again, I'm 95% sure this may be the actual case. 
TY! I will let Jones Memorial Library review info; then... do more R & I.
