What is KGC

[Rebel - KGC]

Yo! Now, I was having a S.M. (Senior Moment)... THANKS, SS. Wasn't it page 26? National Treasure # 2 actually has TWO cases of "missing pages", Booth's Diary (PROBABLY related to NORTHERN KGC "against" Lincoln), & the the President "Secret Book"... it MAY exist, DUNNO, NOT! "in the know".

There are 18 pages missing from the Booth Diary and they went missing after his diary was seized and sent to the Secretary of War ?Stanton?. The movie hinges around one of the pages being recovered and containing a code that gets broken during the course of the movie. siegfried schlagrule

Folks, it was page 47, I believe, in the movie. 47 is a useful number to know about, research it and see what you find.

The Knights of the Golden Circle Support the Confederacy

Welcome to As It Was: Tales from the State of Jefferson

As many as 2,500 Southern sympathizers in Oregon joined the national Knights
of the Golden Circle society that supported the Confederacy during the Civil
War. One of its chapters was in Jacksonville.

The organization used secret passwords and signs. If a man stroked his beard
with thumb and first finger of his right hand touching and another responded
by scratching behind his right ear, these men would know they were both
Knights of the Golden Circle.

Some members supported forming an independent Republic of the Pacific Coast
that would condone a labor force of Chinese, Hawaiian, and Negro slaves.

More menacingly, these secret groups bought guns and practiced military
drills. An Oregon militia troop was called up in 1864 to quell the threat of
openly militant Knights in the Long Tom and Siuslaw River valleys of
Southwest Oregon.

Joseph Lane, Oregon's Indian fighter, outspoken southern sympathizer and the
state's first U.S. Senator, was sent back to Oregon in disgrace, accused of
smuggling guns to the Knights.

With the defeat of the South in the Civil War, the Knights of the Golden
Circle vanished, but their beliefs persisted with many people.

Today's episode of As It Was was written by Alice Mullaly, the program
producer is Raymond Scully. I'm Shirley Patton. As It Was is a
co-production of JPR and the Southern Oregon Historical Society. To share

Yo! That was BETTER... "caption" to "pic": "General John Anthony Quitman, a pro-slavery ideologue with high status in Scottish Rite Masonic circles. His pre-civil War KGC affiliation is SUGGESTED by the STAR AND CRESENT SYMBOLS on the horse's riding apron". "Pic" # 9 - SHADOW OF THE SENTINEL - Warren Getler & Bob Brewer (aka HillBilly Bob... Blind Bowman...). THANKS! HILLBILLY!!!

The symbol on Quitman's shabrack is his rank insignia, its a spread eagle and star which signifies he is a Brig General. It has nothing to do with anything else. He was a member of the Order of the Lone Star and possibly KGC but this is a military picture.

Thanks for posting this! Knew Jacksonville, OR was a center for KGC. Found a small newspaper clipping in a scrapbook at the Oregon Historical Society in the 1980's. Went like this" "Wanted for Horsethieving! One John Wilkes Booth, actor, late of Jacksonville, last seen hightailing it toward Susanville." Susanville, CA was the closest railhead at the time. This was dated about 6 months before Lincoln's assasination.

On the West Coast, KGC were an integral part of the Henry Plummer Gang. Group dedicated to one thing: accumulating sufficient gold to allow the south to rise again. Might have been an accurate premise. Before being hung, Henry Plummer is supposed to have told his jailor, "If you let me out, I will give you your weight in gold tomorrow." There's no reason to believe that wouldn't have happened.

Serious KGC researchers MUST READ Dimsdale's "Vigillante Justice".
