Thanks 4 the link Floyd!! I always wondered as a kid why they let his brother off so easy. Now I know some of the truth, part of which is that BOTH were part of something very, very big. Wish I had a credit card, as I'd order this book right now simply out of curiosity.... I LOVE long books! stvn.

I also tried to find the book thru the search engine and nothing was found for "Jesse James history mystery". How do we find this book?

I also tried to find the book and had no luck.
I really enjoy any books about Jesse James, an KGC.
I would like to order it if it is available.
Thanks Floyd for the info.

Increased Interest in Jesse James and the KGC

Recently there has been markedly increased interest in potential Jesse James
treasure caches, the James Gang, and the possibility that both Jesse and his
brother, Frank, were members of the Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC). If
you're not familiar with the KGC let me provide you with a brief description.

In essence, the KGC was a secret society founded by a number of prominent and/or
die-hard Southerners to promote Southern (i.e., Confederate) interests in the
Western and Southwestern U.S. as well as the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America,
and South America. The KGC was well funded and it has been postulated that the
Knights (or their agents or "Sentinels") stashed thousands of small-to-medium
sized treasure caches throughout Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

Some KGC Troves are Worth Millions

It is also said that the KGC buried extremely large and very elaborate treasure
caches or troves in these areas as well, with many of these "pointed out" via an
elaborate system of signs and symbols that can cover broad expanses of
territory. Some of the larger KGC troves are supposedly rich enough to run into
the millions, tens of millions of dollars, or higher.

Frank and Jesse James supposedly functioned as "Sentinels" for the KGC and I
cannot discount this. Any number of small "payroll" type KGC stashes have been
recovered by following KGC treasure signs and symbols in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Missouri, and Kansas.

KGC Treasure Signs and Symbols

Here is a partial list of KGC Treasure Signs and symbols. If you come across any
of these while out and about, take heed:

Pyramids (Carved or etched into, or constructed with rocks or stones.)

Small Metal Objects (Buried less than 12 inches down....some of these can
include zinc or tin "Mason" jar lids and tops. If you hit one of these, search
carefully in the hole you dug and for some feet around the site....this could be
a KGC "payroll" site containing gold and/or silver coins)

Names and Initials (These don't have to be initials like "JJ" or "FJ"...they can
represent real names or fake ones....it's the initials themselves that are the
key, not the person necessarily.)

Get a Safety Kit and Stay Safe!

Stone Maps or Directions (The famous [or infamous] "Peralta Stones" are good
examples of stone maps. Typically, these consist of a flat, sometimes specially
shaped rocks or stones with a map or directions etched or carved into it.)

Hearts (Usually these were carved into trees, terrain features, or large rocks
or boulders. Pay particular attention to these if they are obviously quite old
and not some modern, lovelorn couple's heart and arrow routine.)

Turtle (The turtle treasure sign was used extensively by the Spanish in the New
World and was adopted by the KGC as well. The turtle's head usually points
toward a cache or treasure trove. If you find a turtle carved into stone or a
tree, treasure is probably nearby.)

Costplustools

These are only a small fraction of the signs and symbols used by the KGC to
identify and locate their treasure caches. Many, many more exist and there is
often an overlap between KGC signs and symbols and those used by the Spanish, so
bear that in mind.

Good hunting to you.

cccalco, cool post. You mentioned there have been many KGC payroll stashes recovered in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. I don't know if you're quoting this or have personal info. We'd all like to know about these any number of payroll stashes recovered, so hook us up. The James boys were greedy and lazy and avoided honest work. I would wonder why that if they were guardians of a vast buried gold treasure they would be charging fees for folks to visit the farm and selling rocks from Jesse's grave to tourists? Wouldn't it be tempting to just go dig up a little of that buried gold you were in charge of guarding, as the Confederacy was pretty much a done deal, and nobody would know anyway.

RGINN ,
That's always been a question in my mind as well . JJ's death remains a question . There's no doubt about the identities of Frank and Cole Younger . Selling one's self to the public for pennies doesn't enhance the image of a rich outlaw ; does it ?

I don't question the existence of the KGC. But I believe they were more like a southern rich gentlemen's version of the Masons. Secret societies were big in those days. The church I grew up in specifically forbade me from becoming a Mason or a member of 'other secret societies'. So I don't put much credence in Jesse James/KGC/Lost treasure tales. However, I really do enjoy posts like cccalco's, because sometimes where there's smoke, there's fire. It would be a cool thing for me to be proven totally wrong about. And I would like to know about the payroll caches found. I've heard of a couple, but not very many. I don't see how folks would work very long for the KGC, since apparently most of their payroll was hidden and lost, and it would seem that nobody got paid.
