:coffee2: :icon_thumleft: ;D :dontknow: R & I indicate it MAY well be ANOTHER "cover-story" for the CSA Treasury. Newton Hazlewood, who was a 1st Lt. (REB) in the CONFEDERATE WAR gave Clayton Hart sheets of papers with FIGURES on 'em alluding to a treasure near his home (Peaks of Otter "area"?), wanting copies in DUPLICATES. Gen. TT Munford (CSA) had a farm in Boonesboro, Va. "area" near NO BUSINESS Mountain, a ridge over from Fleming Mountain (aka JACKSON Mountain); Lee/Jackson Highway (Rt. 501 N) & James River are north of NBM... AND! Thomas Jefferson used to own ALL that land! SO! :D :wink:

:coffee2: :icon_thumleft: ;D INTERESTING story! I will dismiss the adventures/misadventures of the HART Bros.; the info about Newton Hazlewood IS good, as he WAS a 1st Lt. in the REBEL Army (CSA), and POSSIBLE "ex-spy". The HART Bros. meeting JB Ward looks good in terms of "up-dating" the "cover-story" (w/o the "BE"); HART PAPERS was written in 1952 by George L. Hart. NOW! Paschal Buford was a FRIEND of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Lee "over-nighted" with Buford in 1869 (Lee died in 1870 or so)... RIP. Gen. Lee even went up to Sharp Top of Peaks of Otter, surveying the "area" (looking around), as if making sure, EVERYTHING was OK. :wink: I think the part about the medium/psychic "seeing" was a COVER for what REALLY happened... BUT! Within the context of REBELS "coming in" & "taking care of business"; what the medium/psychic "saw" was what the REBS had to "deposit"... but WHERE? :dontknow: MORE R & I! :wink:

:coffee2: :icon_thumleft: ;D THEN, there are the CSA Sentinels, known as MOUNTAIN MEN... W. T. "BUCK" Wright & "BEAR" Tolley. "BUCK" Wright was known as the MYSTERY MAN of Upper Goose Creek Valley, living in an old log cabin watching over CSA "assets" in the Thomas Jefferson National Forest. "Bear" Tolley had responsibility for George Washington National Forest. BOTH National Forests & Blue Ridge Parkway are ALL "Fed Land". :D :wink:

Can anyone 100% verify who George Hart was? In the Hart Papers, George Hart says he's the brother of Clayton Hart, and yet a check of genealogical records going back to 1880 does not indicate George ever existed. Clayton was born 1876/1877 and appears with his parents on the 1880, 1900 and 1910 censuses (the 1890 Census was burned and doesn't exist), and as a single gent on 1920 and 1930 censuses. His mother had a very peculiar first name; "Pluma", and his father; Henry Hart was a local doctor, so as a family they are very easy to spot in the census records....however George, the alleged brother, never appears once in these same records. In 1880, the following Hart siblings appear; Artie, Luserne, Lena, Della, Clayton, William and these same people show up later. A 6 yr old George W. Hart appears in the 1900 census but he is listed as the nephew of Clayton- NOT the brother. George says he lived in Washington D.C. in 1920 but there are no records. Can anyone verify who George Hart was and what is your source?

The Hart Papers are a work of fiction. Just to suck you in to The Baele Papers.

NOPE! TRUE story of two Treasure Hunters from Roanoke, Va. Interviewed JB Ward of Beale PAPERS... George Luzerne Hart, Sr. had a son, George L. Hart, Jr., who was a Senior Federal district Judge in D.C., I think... not ALL census info in reliable; some burned, some altered.

Sorry, this is one of the most moronic things I have ever seen.

You have to understand what he's referencing with that statement and the entire history of the Beale Papers in regards to actual evidence to the contrary. So far there is no evidence that the story is anything but a simple work of fiction.

The only evidence to supposedly ever exist had only been seen by a few locals who profited from the tale, that evidence having never been saved, photographed, or otherwise preserved despite its importance to the credibility and support of the tale. No box, no letters, no ciphers, or even pictures of them. So the case/theory of complete fiction is very strong.
