The American Southwest

This is the first episode in a long series over the Mexican War from 1846 to 1848. I begin the series where it all started: The Louisiana Purchase. I talk about the filibusterers such as Nolan, Long, and others. I then tell the story of Austin and his Old Three Hundred before marching headlong into the beginning of the Texas Revolution with Sam Houston and William Barret Travis. I end the episode with the assault on the Alamo.

I am joined by Author Brad Kelly to discuss his incredible book The Earthen Dark. We also discuss archaeology, anthropology, Man Corn, Chaco Canyon, the Maya, all the fun stuff under the earth, and more.

After a few rewrites and edits, I have finally finished the third and final episode in the series over Confederate Treasure.

Instead of telling the rest of the Rebel Gold story like I had planned, I decided to summarize a few parts without ruining it. I briefly talk about Bob’s adventures with the Wolf Map treasure of Oklahoma and the Lost Dutchman Mine in Arizona before imploring listeners to purchase Rebel Gold and reading it. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a ton of fun information and tantalizing clues, but after a discussion with author Warren Getler, I have decided not to ruin the book.

I end the episode with two very recent finds in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Ohio Treasure was probably buried by the not assassinated Jesse James. Both are probably KGC related.

This is Part 2 of 3 in the series over buried Confederate Treasure.
I open the episode with Bob Brewer’s adventures in Arkansas as he continues to uncover clues and even more treasures.
I then tell the complete history of Jesse James before diving into the theory that he faked his death and lived a very long life while burying treasure throughout the nation for the KGC.

This is the first of three episodes over the Quest for Confederate Treasure which follows Bob Brewer as he hunts for Rebel Gold.

I open the episode with Bob Brewer and his upbringing in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas where he learns of his family’s ties to buried treasure.

I then move to the complete history of the Knights of the Golden Circle from their beginning to the time they go underground after the Civil War.

This episode takes place entirely in the East and South but by the third episode, we will be in the American Southwest as we follow Bob’s hunt for Confederate Treasure into the Superstition Mountains. The journey to those desert peaks is thrilling and almost unbelievable.
