...and the major point ignored by those who claim to have solved the C & C3 Beale ciphers is that NO evidence has ever been found outside of the pages of the Beale Papers that can confirm anything in the narrative text as actually ever happening.ECS brings up an interesting point. How much fiction has been brought in over the years of the Beale treasure searches? Reading through most of the ideas put forth by well meaning researchers, I see a lot of conjecture and fiction...
Yes, the names employed in the story provide a plausible believability to the presented story, but once again, there is NO outside evidence that they did what was told in the story, and most probably used as a literary device to sell copies of those "authentic statements" to 1885 Lynchburg.
So, if the story is fiction, including the provided DOI solved C2, what does that reveal concerning the two unsolved ciphers, and then claimed solves that have been claimed?
