Scoopie,
I like to look in on this subject
1. Because I am from the South
2. Because in one of my areas of expertise (Colonial Jesuit Mines and Caches), we have a lot of the same issues.
There is a very simple explanation for a lack of documentation of great hordes of money. I will use my specialty as the first example:
1. People hunting treasures that had access to archives have stolen many of the old maps and documents that could prove such things exist.
2. Even before those documents may have been stolen from archives, the Jesuits themselves were instructed under Ecclesiastical Precept (Holy Law) to both write letters in code, and to destroy any letters that may reflect badly on the order:
Here are a couple of quotes from Father Charles Polzer SJ' book "Rules and Precepts of Jesuit Missions in Northwestern New Spain:
THAT WHOEVER HAS SUCH LETTERS WILL HEREUPON BURN THEM (AS OTHERS HAVE ALREADY DONE)
LITTERA SCRIPTA MANET
What does that mean my little snowflakes? NO FAIR GOOGLING! Okay, I'll tell. It means:
It is a part of a very old Latin Phrase "VOX AUDITA PERIT, LITTERA SCRIPTA MANET" translated as "The Spoken Word Perishes, The Written Word Remains"
NOW, is there anybody who doesn't understand why there are no or VERY FEW extant documents that speak of Jesuit Mining or any sort of Intrigues? ANYBODY?
No, it's very simple. We have one Ecclesiastical Precept that says "Whenever a letter has to be written about a sensitive subject, do it in code, and another that came later (this could only be because a lot of Priests were not encoding their letters, and even keeping them. This scared the living crap out of the Jesuit Leaders in Spain and Rome, so they issued another Ecclesiastical Precept that BESEECHES them to "burn any such letters (as others have already done)"
This should give everybody an idea of why there is no documentation of Confederate Wealth sitting around waiting for some internet researcher to find. The South knew that the North was getting close, and they didn't want them getting the loot for a number of reasons. Any documentation regarding their wealth was either destroyed or hidden. There may be some people that actually have the documentation you are looking for. You will not see them posting any of those documents for your benefit on any forums. Just like Spanish, Jesuit, KGC, and other sources of real treasure caches, the very few people that have that documentation hold it close to their chests. All the rest of us can do, is go the long way around to come to our conclusions, and believe what we believe.
Scooper, likely as not, you will never see the documents you ask about. Most of the people that say "they know for a fact" don't. They firmly believe that what they think is true. Unlike Spanish Shipwrecks, they were unfortunate, but never had anything to hide. That is why those records are still in the Archivo de los Indios and in Seville, and in Mexico City, etc. Nobody had anything to hide at the time. The same cannot be said for the Confederate Government and the Jesuit Order.
So, if you choose not to believe, then that is just fine. Don't. If others choose to believe, then that is fine too. I just ask that you don't blindly believe or disbelieve. Do the research. You will find inconsistencies in reports. You will find documents referred to in other documents that are missing (but should be there). You will find statements by people after the fact in their published journals that refer to what you seek. If you look hard enough, you WILL find what you want. THEN make your decisions on what to believe.
Good Luck - Mike
