Well I just viewed the History channel's program about the treasures of Jesse James and found it to be quite interesting and provocative.

The KGC connection seemed to be unmistakable and undeniable. Seems like history's account of Jesse James death may have to have another look as well.

GG~

Unmistakable and undeniable?
We must not have watched the same show. These are the same theories that have been hashed out for years by the Jesse James / KGC conspiracy theorists.

Seems to me like they presented more evidence for the KGC connection than the naysayers have against it.
I will view it again later to see if I missed something. :icon_scratch:

GG~


* After reviewing the program, I will, in deference to SWR, change my choice of words to:

"The KGC connection seemed to be remarkable and compelling."

:icon_thumleft: Just watched it, myself; probably will be a DVD in a few days on history.com/shop.
SWR, oh ye of LITTLE faith, tunnel-vision, selective reading of selective history. How childish of ye...
:D :wink:

Actually SWR I thought all told it was a good story...until..the rather "Gee..is that a gold bar? Hmm?"

I myself would have jumped as high as the tree...

Then the 'end'..(lol) "we need funding..." I almost choked on my popcorn.

Some good shots of carvings and interesting history .
Ending :
BULL ! I have moved more dirt and then tons of rock in my back yard with the help of my 8 year old
grandson with hand tools and a farm tractor ... Just to landscape !!
That little 'hoptoad' could turn over the world if they wanted to work it instead of generating another
TV show .
I felt that I could have spent my time better watching 2 episodes of NCIS on another channel .

Was a very good show. Leaves a lot of questions to be answered. I'd still like to know what was under that hill at the end of the show.

While I always like to see stuff on Jessie James, I as a member of the James family, think bob ford did kill Jessie that day. However, there will always be speculation in regards to the KGC. Maybe one day we will all know the truth. And as the saying goes..."come ride with us"

I thought it was a great show. Yes I would have jumped about 10 feet high when I uncovered the mason jar cache and the gold bar! Also I thought the facial recognition technology was pretty amazing. The "dirty little coward" Bob Ford caught a lot of grief over the assasination, wouldn't he have confessed it wasn't really Jesse?

I enjoyed the program but thought the ending was unrealistic.
How many of us would dig down to within 8' of a target....and then just leave it?
It ain't happening!

I watched the show and part was believeable and parts were far fetched. my question is? Was there Sentinels out there guarding large caches of gold and coins? We know Jesse james robbed a ton of banks. what happened to all his loot. Has very much of it been found? if not it still has to be out there. in that time period a lot of people buried there money instead of putting it in the banks because they didn't trust banks.

but is the sentinels part true? wasn't there such a thing as the KGC.

I have a question for you all---What was the reference to the "Paw Paws" in the show? I didn't get in on the first part of the show, but my mom did and was asking me about that part. Was this some kind of political group that had connections to the KGC?
I really liked the show, though it did leave a lot unfinished. When I hit the info on my remote for the show it said it was a "Series/Special", so I guess there will be more of these?

Hi sandcreek. The Paw Paw Militia was mentioned once during the program that I recall in a quote from a book about the War. The Paw Paws were supposed to be Union soldiers but many of them in Missouri were also Knights of the Golden Circle. The Paw Paws were often Southern men who were forced to join the Missouri (Union) militias and were often accused of being friendly to the Confederate Guerrillas in that state.

I pointed out something on the other thread on this subject and no one responded. So, I'll ask again. Didn't anyone else notice that large, triangle-shaped rock that the diggers placed the bits and pieces of the rusted jar lid on? It looked to be about 12" to 15" on a side and was covered in a layer of fresh soil.

A "Pointer stone"??????? and they moved it from the hole. But, I suppose if Pastore is as smart as he thinks he is, maybe it was a convienently "ignored find".
