...and the point most missed is that the Beale Papers was written to be sold to the Lynchburg buying public of 1885.JB Ward was the AGENT for the author, and got copyright on it in March, 1885 ...
...which leads one to surmise that the buying public of 1885 Lynchburg did not consider the "authentic statements" of the treasure tale to be true, hence the price cut from 50 cents to 10 cents and then to the fires of pot bellied stoves and a Franklin stove or two.I read, heard, etc. that the remaining, unsold copies were used to "feed" fires in pot-bellied stoves in L'burg, since it was a COLD winter; NO need for 2nd edition... heh; ALL those UNSOLD, 1st Editions... BAD "investment"!
