And the loot they derived was "legally" obtained so they'd have no reason to hide it, instead they flaunted it and built great mansions, universities, museums, etc. in the larger cities of America, and became known as upstanding men of substance. Harrumph!!! Legal thieves and robber barons, all of them! <BR/><BR/>But, I'm not bitter,lol.....<BR/><BR/>MatthewMatthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-39475066758722243162008-10-05T08:17:00.000-04:002008-10-05T08:17:00.000-04:00Thanks, Matthew!

I've never heard any such tales here, but then people were a long way from money over here in those days. I wonder though if any of the old oil and gas barons hid anything...Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-14829464443134041632008-10-04T10:46:00.000-04:002008-10-04T10:46:00.000-04:00I've heard this story many times and many think it...I've heard this story many times and many think it is just a legend. Tract Mountain is a pretty big place, and there are many caves buried on it. Tract Mountain even stretches into Pendleton County. If I were to believe in the legend, I'd check the caves on Tract Mountain that are closer to Greenawalt Gap, the only natural Gap through the mountains in that area. It was through Greenawalt that all roads came through at that time, so it stands to reason in my mind that any treasure would have been stashed before passing through the heavily guarded Gap. <BR/><BR/>Akin to this story is a story of my one grandfather, who while in the Confederate Service in the latter days of the War, seen the writing on the wall and knew the South had lsot. So he robbed a bank in Richmond and made off with a couple of saddlebags of Confederate paper money. He thoguht with this money, he'd be able to buy food and stock to make his farm once again prosperous. To his dismay, by the time he managed to get home from Richmond (remember there were still many armies out and about), the War was over and Confederate money was worthless. However, the money was stashed away in the attic of his home, and over the years it was used for trunk linings, and wallpaper, until only 5 bills were known to exist. These are still in the possession of family members. His farm was located on top of Wardensville Mountain in Hardy County. Corridor H goes right through the middle of it.<BR/><BR/>I also know of a legend of buried treasure on the ridge about Riverton in Pendleton County, I'll try and the old newspaper article about it. Also, I wrote a blog post about the Yankee Gold that is suppoedly buried on the old Burns homeplace. My family still looks for it on ocassion.<BR/><BR/>Buried treasure abound in the mountains back home. Oddly enough, none was ever found.Matthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.com
