April 3rd; 1865 $500;000 to $600;000 in specie arrived in Danville; VA. It is ironic that while the Confederacy was in its dying throes; the Confederate treasure was only beginning to live. Although most of the bounty from that treasure was distributed in 1865; heretofore uncovered facts lend credibility to that continued life. Confederate Treasure in Danville reawakens interest in an almost forgotten fortune that has secretly slumbered in undisturbed earth for over 130 years. Now; the silvery voice of that sleepy treasure calls from its resting place and draws attention to a city on the Dan River. Somewhere in the Last Capital of the Confederacy is buried a significant portion of the fortune currently worth between $10 and $74 million. The trek won't be easy though! The spot cannot be found by reading selected portions of the book. Clues found in every chapter and clever detective work are necessary to determine its whereabouts. Don't head to your local hardware store to pick up a shovel! Smart sleuths will discover that this dig requires using a mental shovel instead.

The best part of this small book is the introduction in which the author does an amazing job setting the stage for the reader to understand the very complicated notion of European exploration in the wake of exploitation of the native peoples of California.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The notes are generally helpful; but fail to critique Lapérouse's evaluation of the mission and the missionaries.
