No one that I know of has tried to find out where Harry Wright's wealth came from? You know a lot of Confederate Officers went to Mexico after the war. There was one whole town down there bought out by General Shelby and his officers. I have all of that research somewhere even the prices they paid for the land.

By the way I do have one of the stock's in Harry Wright's company.
Well Harry Wright's father wasn't wealthy, according to PV, having LOTS of unpaid taxes (THE BEALE TREASURE: NEW History of a MYSTERY, p. 184). Harry was born in 1877; moved to Mexico after his father died (1890), and he & his Sibs left B'ford, moving to Mexico City; "Harry ended up a WEALTHY man, owning the second largest steel & copper firm in Mexico" (p. 184).

Current R & I possibly indicate that the former Bedford County Lake, (north of Fancy Farm & maybe once owned by Harry Wright)... is NOW a water reserve for the City of Bedford, Va. Still doing R & I... there WAS a legend that the Beale Treasure was under/in a lake in Bedford County; if it WAS on Harry Wright's land... WHOA! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

I have a copy you sent me. A photo with the black lady pointing at the tree with symbols. Only I could not see them. I pretty much figured out where they did the dig for the Beale Treasure. I have it marked on Google Earth Map.
Bring that up with you; check with Mr. "D"...

AND! It MAY not have been the "BT"... COULDA been CSA TREASURY - WESTERN portion of Va. (per Gen. Robert E. Lee to CSA Prez JEFFERSON Davis). MAYBE "insight" provided by W.T. "Buck" Wright (CSA SENTINEL), MYSTERY MAN of UPPER GOOSE CREEK VALLEY; were they "kin"...? Dunno, doing R & I on that NOW!

Well. wife & I DID make the Day Trip to B'ford; went to library & found the book with "Buck" Wright info in it (made a copy of that & other pages that was MY family-related). HA! Montvale (aka Buford'sville) has a WONDERFUL history; in Montvale, "scouted" around the old Newton Hazlewood "haunt"; seeing some "connections" to the HART PAPERS, heh. Monacan Nation Burial Mound is still there; wonder why it wasn't mentioned in the BPP...

NOW THEN... "bits & pieces" put together on "Buck" W.T. Wright, MOUNTAIN MAN/CSA/KGC Sentinel; MAYBE even for James Gang cache in the Blue Ridge Mountains... near Buchanan, Va. MYSTERY MAN of Upper Goose Creek Valley; cabin near the top of Bear Wallow Gap, going into Buchanan, Va. Taking Chestnuts to the Mill in Buchanan, etc. Cabin in the woods near Smyrna, a community, now "gone"; which was near the OLD Walnut Grove Church. The creek near the OLD WGC was dammed up, "treasure" put in & covered with a FLAT stone... creek released & flowing again. "Buck" Wright "watching" over it... BUT! It was found & "moved"... was it found by Harry Wright...?

Buck could have been the author of the Job Print Pamphlet. He could have dropped in Robert Morriss? But who really knows till we find something documented.

If he was Frank James he could not have received the tale from Morriss during the "2nd year of the Confederate War"- and if he was, that would make that section of the Beale story an obvious work of fiction.

That's NOT what I stated; NOTHING to do with the BPP! It was 1862/63 of the CONFEDERATE WAR! YOU are mixing MY "response" with "franklin"... STOP IT!

It was a question that arose from this post, Rebel-KGC, not yours. :icon_thumright:

I thought you were commenting on Frank James whereabouts in relation to the remark of him possibly being the Beale Paper author as a response to my post.
Everyone has become very touchy on these Beale threads, and take things way too personal.
