FORGET BC # 1 & 3; FORGET the "JOB PRINT"/Beale PAPERS Pamphlet... "see" through the decoded BC # 2 & know that there is a "Thomas Jefferson" connection (2 of his sons with Sally Hemings fought for the Yanks during the CONFEDERATE WAR). We have a "missing" "Beale Treasure"; we have a "missing" CSA Treasury... I think they are THE SAME, for Virginia! I think the "Beale Treasure" WAS the CSA Treasury for the WESTERN portion of Virginia, to "store" in 1863 & 1865 to enhance Lynchburg, Va., & rebuild Lexington, Va./VMI. PV alluded to this in his last book on the "Beale Treasure", a FACTION "novel"... CONFEDERATE TREASURE COVERUP: Duty, Honor, & Deceit; ALSO in his book, THE BEALE TREASURE: NEW History of a MYSTERY; Chapter 22, Mexican War & Confederacy. Check out pg. 168-173... "Would any outsider find the treasure? UNLIKELY. One set of ciphers nobly alluded to naming legitimate claimants of the treasure (BC # 1). The third set of ciphers would tell EXACTLY where it was (BC # 3). NEITHER of these two sets of ciphers were legitimate, NOR SOLVABLE. THEY were ONLY serving to help create the COVER. They remain today UNSOLVED, because they were NEVER real messages"; pg. 172-173. IMHO, I concur...
LOL! Take it up with PV, then...But nothing to even hint of any of this as being the basis for the tale, just another example of how the tale is kept alive, the human nature that the author knew would take place just as it has.
