Knights of the Golden Circle Cache ???

WOW! Great work cccalco. I also saw your post from the Ranchero, Corpus Cristy on the other forum. Give up trying to convince the naysayers. They will never believe even if they actually fell into a KGC cache. That leaves more for the rest of us.

Yea it seems like the more and more he adds the more solid it gets as evidence. It has some pretty good points in it too.

	Actually guys, if you do a search of Cornell's " The War of the Rebellion" records...you'll get a hit on 20 records for KGC. If you select the results list, it will give you approximately 80 pages of information concerning the KGC by Title, Volume, and Page number. The Records were composed in 1889, so I think they were an accurate composition and description of these historical events. I reviewed battles that my GGGrandad was in at Vicksburg during the Civil War and found much about the battles he fought as a calvaryman and during the time they occured. As far as the KGC Gold....I'm sure it existed, but what happened to it is anyones guess.

Greetings...in regards to the KGC gold...how are you sure it existed? After all, there is no mention of any gold, in any of the historical documents or newspaper articles. KGC gold is a fabrication of a few treasure hunters found on internet message boards, action adventure novels and some very confused conspiracy theorists.

	[LITTLE ROCK] ARKANSAS TRUE DEMOCRAT 1861 You are not allowed to view links. Please Register or Login http://www.uttyler.edu/vbetts/little_rock_arkansas_true_democrat_1861.htm Attention, K. G. C. Montgomery, Ala., April 17, 1861.             In view of the threatened invasion of Texas by Lincoln's abolition horde, and in further view of the fact that the Confederate States of America has so many points exposed to attack from the enemy, that its army as at present organized, may be inadequate to ample protection; I therefore order the Captains of each Castle of K's G. C's. within the State of Texas, to meet me at the city of Galveston, on the 1st day of May, A. D. 1861, with a complete muster roll of companies.  Each Castle will hold itself in readiness for immediate orders.  It is desired that as many of the field officers as can do so, will also be in Galveston at the time appointed.                                                                                              Geo. W. Chilton.                                                                                                                              Marshal of Texas Division K's G. C.             The K's G. C's in Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Florida, will pay attention.  Maryland has her hands full.  Let no member of the Order now flinch.                                                                                                 Geo. Bickley, K. G. C.                                                                                                 President Am. Legion.             All Companies of the K's G. C's in the State of Arkansas will hold themselves in readiness for further orders.             By order of                                                                                                 Major Augustus Larrantree,                                                                                                 Commanding Ark. Battalion.             Arkansas papers please copy. [LITTLE ROCK] ARKANSAS TRUE DEMOCRAT, May 9, 1861, p. 3, c. 3             "Knights of the Golden Circle."?We clip the following from the Louisville Courier, of the 24th inst., to which we invite the attention of members of the order in this city.  We are informed by a gentleman, formerly a chief commander in West Tennessee, that the order numbers about six hundred in this city.  Why do they not rally and give some public expression of their sympathy for their gallant brothers of Baltimore, who first met and repulsed the enemies of our common interests, so soon as they placed their feet upon southern soil.  History will place them side by side with the heroes of Lexington and Bunker Hill.  We would be glad to hear from some of the members here. [LITTLE ROCK] ARKANSAS TRUE DEMOCRAT, September 12, 1861, p. 1, c. 7             A Female Spy.?The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Western Virginia, says a female spy has been discovered in the first Kentucky regiment.  She is from Georgia, and enlisted at Cincinnati.  She was detected by writing information in regard to the movements of our troops to the enemy.  She is a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle; says she knows the punishment of a spy is death, and is ready for the fate.  She is to be sent to Columbus.

What is it with you? Don't you have a brain? Why do you do nothing here but cut and paste? Worse yet, you cut and paste nothing but irrelevant information that does not bear up under scrutiny.

DAILY TIMES [LEAVENWORTH, KS], November 16, 1860, p. 2, c. 1
                                                                                                                                                                    Wyandot City, Nov. 12th, 1860.
            My Wholom Friend "Ed":--I notice thy name is flying at the editorial head of the Times, and therefore presume to indite a short communication for its columns, should it be deemed worthy of a place therein. . . .
            Our recent election in this county, was said to be controlled by a secret order, known as Knights of the Golden Circle, or "Whang Doodles."  They meet twice a week, so numerous are the applications for membership, and initiate their members under the influence of the heavenly music made by a "horse fiddle," and by beating a piece of sheet iron with sticks.  Their "tunes" can be heard in all parts of the town.  Gov. Roberts was their especial favorite for the Legislature, and of course was elected, while Gen. Weer was his opponent and defeated. . .                                                                                                                                                                                           Quill.


DAILY TIMES [LEAVENWORTH, KS], August 3, 1861, p. 2, c. 1

            A female spy has been arrested in the First Kentucky Regiment, at Racine, Ohio.?On being closely questioned, she confessed her guilt.  She states that she has been in constant communication with the rebels?that she is a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and through that order, members of which she finds every where, she has found the means of forwarding her letters to the rebels.  On all the long marches, she has carried her musket and knapsack, and never lagged behind.  She is about five feet, seven inches high, and has rather effeminate features.


DAILY TIMES [LEAVENWORTH, KS], August 4, 1861, p. 2, c. 1

K. G. C.
            The Louisville Journal publishes a complete exposition of the objects and rites of the Knights of the Golden Circle, taken from their secret documents.  Of these documents, the Journal says:  "That they are authentic, we give our solemn assurance as an editor and as a man."  It appears that the primary design of the order, is the conquest of a portion of Mexico, and its conversion into a slave-holding monarchy.  But the order has also been a valuable auxiliary to the secession movement, and has been the chief instrument in precipitating the people of the South into rebellion and revolution.
            A leading feature of this infamous association is the proscription of foreigners and Catholics.  This is in perfect harmony with the spirit of aristocracy and intolerance prevalent among the leaders of the chivalry, and shows that they aim at the destruction of every liberal principle in our form of government.  Such doctrines will increase the abhorrence in which they are held by the people of the loyal States.  For, we rejoice to say, that the patriotic devotion of the foreign-born citizens to their adopted land, as exhibited by their recent brave services in its defence, has swept from the North the last vestige of Know Nothing bigotry and prejudice.
            That feature of the K. G. C., which looks to the establishment of a monarchial government in the territory they propose to seize, is also important and suggestive.  It is another evidence that the public sentiment of the South is gradually becoming hostile to republican institutions.  Thus slavery and political despotism go hand in hand.
