Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
When the Confederacy fell in the spring of 1865 its treasury, gold and silver coin worth a fortune, went south by wagon with the fleeing government and simply came apart. Part of it was robbed at the Chennault crossroads in Lincoln County one night in May; part was paid out, buried and stolen along the way; a good deal was never accounted for at all. The hunt for the vanished Confederate gold has run across Georgia and the Carolinas ever since.
Chennault crossroads, Lincoln County (GA), and points south. Source: Documented history; the unrecovered gold is the great Southern treasure hunt. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
