Hello Midnightmechanic

It is indeed a blast when people contribute stories and items to a story to help themselves and others understand the real story behind treasure legends. there are many fine examples of that spirit of co operation that has lead to many interesting topics.

I hope you get much from posts of this forum as I do.

Hardluck  Wink

The Knights of the Golden Circle were part of a Secret Society and were a secret society themselves.  How can you expect to find the truth in these two facts?

Picture of Buzzards Roost,  near Cement, Ok.      I've lived here near the sites for years,  and there is more than 1.  Most think that they are on post but, they are not.

There is a long standing story in my family that my grandfather told me. He was told by my great grandfather that he was setting with a brother and old friend one day when they heard the news of Jesse James' death and the friend said it sure is sad to hear that he's dead, at which time my great uncle said "He ain't dead, he's to smart for that" and the friend argued. My great uncle supposedly argued back and said "Jesse ain't dead, and I can take you to meet him if you'd like." The friend took up on the offer and they rode out on horseback from a small town in Illinois called Oquawka. I was born and raised in Oquawka, though it has a population less than a thousand it has a very rich history. My great uncle and the other gentleman rode several days to a beat down ranch house in the middle of Missouri far away from any towns or villages. When they walked through the door sure enough there sat Jesse James. As I said it is a story passed down through my family and nobody alive today truly knows the integrity of the story, however I do know for a fact that there was at one time a picture of my great uncle from this story, sitting at a poker table with Frank James. They were said to have known each other well and at one time Frank and my great uncle supposedly had went to New Mexico for business together. I saw the picture several years ago compared with one of Frank James and they sure looked alike to me, unfortunately that was long before my keen interest in history became to be. If ever I can acquire the said image I will gladly post for all to see. In the mean time, happy hunting and a happy new year to all!

Hello Treasurehound

I hope you are lucky enough to find the photograph again. Old photos a lot of the times have the date written on the back of when photo was taken. If it was taken after his alleged death then you would have an interesting valuable relic.

Hardluck,

 I agree with you there, it would indeed be a very valuable asset, however, I did see the back of the photograph and there was no date on it unfortunately. The only writing on it that I remember was along the white border on the front in where it had the names of the people in the picture and it may have had a location.

Hello TreasureHound

Did the old photo you saw have paper frame around it?

I remember seeing an old interesting photograph of an ancestor of mine years ago. He was a brother of the my great grand mother. He had a photo taken with sitting bull and other character from Wild bill Hickock's wild west show.

He went to America when he was a young man as a photographer and returned to his place of birth after spending a life time in the wild west. He had lived in Galveston and had a native American wife. They had a daughter but both the wife and daughter was drowned during disastrous floods that hit Galveston at one time.

When he died at his place of birth my great grandmother inherited heap of old photographs taken over the western united states with the old glass plate negatives. I remember seeing this old photo with sitting bull and Annie Oakley I think. After My grandmothers death the photos lingered in the family until their was a fight over estate and the old photographs were dumped at the tip out of spite.

I cannot image how many photographs was lost of American history out of spite. There was about 600 pictures.

So if your lucky enough to find that photograph again hold onto it as it is a priceless treasure from another time.

Hardluck
