If only they had a huge ceremony and put some kind of marker in place when they moved it from the Vault in the Tunnels ....

If you get close to the treasure site within four or five miles there should be all kinds of markers. Trees with carvings, diamond shape stones, trees in a straight line, drilled holes for sight, gun site trees, bent knee trees. If there is a treasure there that large there should be so many signs you could trip over them.

It will have a large turtle rock pointing to the treasure! Go south-south east, and there will be all kinds of signs, railroad tracks, double trees, river or stream, sandpile in stream, a stack of rocks out of place, a cemetery or church close by! I believe the treasure is closer to Franklin not Brentwood! It is all skill and not luck!

Is Dickson/White Bluff TN an area of interest for some ?

 

[Rebel - KGC]

MAYBE, what 'cha got....?

Yes, that is the road along which Jesse James buried some of his share of Maximillan's Treasure about 5 Million Dollars worth.

Well I've vague memories of Maximillian's Treasure but didn't know of a JJ connection (or Confederate for that matter). Now I've got some reading to do. Thanks

 

[Rebel - KGC]

HH! Good Luck!

Follow the tail where it's pointing

JJ has a connection to Montezuma's Treasures also.

Like a funeral for a casket full of gold under a fake name on a K.G.C. / O.A.K. marker? Sounds reasonable to me.

" “On the evening of June 3, 1865, three men rode up to the gate of James Cobb’s home. He had just returned from the hospital at Shelby Springs with a wounded nephew from Arkansas. Identifying themselves as ex-Confederates on their way home to Mississippi, the strangers requested shelter, which Cobb was pleased to grant."................................."“On June 6th, Colonel Morgan H. Chrysler of the 2nd New York Cavalry relayed news of the incident from his post at Talledaga. Chrysler reported that the masked men who killed both Cobb and ‘Fox’ Rushing, as he was known, came from north Alabama and had taken four thousand dollars in gold from the Cobb home." .......................................

Or a huge monument ..put in place with a ritual involving 1000s of people.

INDEED! Max had LOTS of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (Mexico); Texas KGC of the IRON HAND (1st Degree; also FIGHTERS), were "involved" per order of JJ, (KGC Controller). Max PROMISED access to funds to the Iron Brigade of the TEXAS KGC; Rebels were involved (some "crooked") & Max's Treasure was buried in TEXAS!

 

[franklin]

And was later removed to Arkansas.

Hmmm...

Hi guys.. the only book I've seen the Maximillian - James/KGC connection discussed is the "Jesse James is My Name" (I think I got the title right) and I don't recall any primary source (bibliography) noted in the chapter text for that particular JJ story. Is it folklore or is there contemporary documentation ? Thanks

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Well, MY R & I was from MANY diverse sources. If I can find my "Max" Treasure Folder/File, I can help you better... BBL. WHAT info do you want...? "Google" Maximilian Treasure; last "report" was that it (GOLD) was buried in Castle Gap, Texas. "Castle" is a clue to KGC involvement; that is all I know at this point.

Hey Ry, I think the title of the book where the Maximillian/James connection started was 'Jesse James Was One of His Names'... Also called the Black Book by Orvus Lee Houk aka Jesse James lll (No Relation To Jesse Woodson James) and Del Schrader. That was released in 1975 IF I remember right. There will be No Bibliography on contemporary books other than other authors books telling the same stories.

Most Contemporary Jesse James authors who want to throw in KGC Mega Vault connections for sales will just re-word the Black Book... I got it from my Secret Santa last Christmas.

Personally I think most all of it is sensationalized fiction. That doesn't mean I don't think there are hidden cashes... Just not what is told by them and other copy cat authors. There are people who do believe that there were two or three sets of Jesse and Frank James that were cousins and all of it is gospel.

Do a thorough search on Orvus Lee Houk. He was a con and criminal so that will come up but...Start with the genealogy forums if you don't want to spend the money on every book since the Black Book on the subject.

Orvus Lee, aka JJ lll started all of that after Dalton died... look at all of the KGC maps online signed Jesse James or Jesse James lll. You will be able to tell the drawing and writing styles on the maps are the same. Orvus Lee also started the Template that Brewer uses in his book.

Rebel is right when he says he's seen it in many different sources because they all copy each other, just using different wording. Rudy Turilli, Roy Rousch, Bob Brewer, Ron Pastore etc.

You will just have to choose what you want to believe. Good Luck Ry.

I don't know much more than you stated about the Maximillion/James connection Kace, but I believe the K.G.C./ Maximillion connection was taking place in 1853-1854 and maybe even sooner via Senator William McKendree Gwin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_M._Gwin
