Exciting New Subforum - Knights of the Golden Circle

	GD settle down. cccalco's last post said author David Keehn has a new book out and he will speak at the Virginia Historical Society. And that's a fact!

The content of his book is most likely fiction. There never was a connection between Booth and any organization. Done and dusted.

Just look at the Yammi Threads.   One person tells some something then they tell someone else .   Ever play that game in school?   You get a Circle say 10 people and the first person tells a 10 word story to the next who passes it on the next who passes it on .  When it gets back around to the person who started it, it's  nothing like was started.  People Omit, Add, change and the next person just hears what they hear.  

A treasure story may have been told a million times over the years.   The Chest of Gold may have started as John Jones Buried two silver Coins under the old Oak tree by the mill and for got what tree.

	I do believe the KGC exist as all military organizations has little secret clubs that are members

How can you say that when they were just a  bunch of self gratifying theives and murderers, just like the modern day gangs and they dont deserve a place in history let alone on a Treasure forum, about the only place for them is on a Convicts self Help forum.

	I watch the show and spent a few days rolling it around in my head. I really wish better records were kept. From what I hear, Custer got his butt handed to him by Pancho Villa around the same time frame. There was not going to be any slaves made out of Mexico. Mexico was more than capable of not letting that happen. Remember the Alamo?

JHD, you've got your history ALL screwed up.   Custer and Pancho Villa have nothing at all to do with each other.   They aren't even in the same time frame.  (although Custer is in the same time frame as the American Civil War having fought in it and is in the same time frame as the James Gang)   Custer "got his butt handed to him" by Sitting Bull and the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians up near the US-Canada border.   Pancho Villa wasn't even born until after Custer was killed.   Furthermore he did his terrorizing way down south along the US Mexico Border 35 years after Custer died.

Also, neither GD or Seldom have ever said that an organization called the KGC never existed.    What they have said, repeatedly, is that the legend is WAY out of line with the known facts.   Their theory basically is that someone with a gift for story telling came across a historical account mentioning "Knights of the Golden Circle" (which would have been one of MANY pro-southern, pro-secessionist groups) and decided to make them central in a tale of conspiracy and intrigue.  One thing led to another and before you could say "Illuminati" or "black helicopters", KGC was at the center of everything related to Southern "resistance" pre and post-civil war.

As for the KKK.....they date their origin to December 1865 when 6 Confederate veterans met in Pulaski, Tennessee.   That is considered the first Klan.
