No problem. Personally, I try to keep an open mind about things, at least 'til I see reason to believe otherwise.

I was simply at fun with a few of the regulars, but I agree, I should have included "some" in that post. The page Freeman posted is interesting but if memory serves me correctly it is actually a page from a book without documented/referenced source. And while I would love to believe that it's authentic past experience causes me to take pause with this type of thing. May be true, but may not be true?This is the problem with trying to investigate these things.

Clearly, you're a 100% dime novel vote. Ok, maybe 95%....

The Hutters, Ward, Early, Hazlewood were ALL involved. $$$$$$$$$$$$ was utilized to rebuild Richmond, Va., Lynchburg, Va. (was Virginia STATE CAPITAL for @ 4 days in April, 1865)... AND! VMI! ELITE TEAM of VMI grads CSA Officers (KGC?) were instrumental in this "NEW Enterprise"... Confederate Treasure Coverup MORE LATER!

And you're clearly a 100% CSA conspiracy vote... By the way Reb, if I never meet you in person you have been a real enjoyable theory foe over the years.
