The strangest thing about the Confederate Gold is all historians believe that the Confederate Government waited until the last minute to run out of Richmond with the Treasury. And historians believe that all that was left in the Confederate Treasury was a little over $500,000. That amount would not pay Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia for two months let along all of the other Armies of the CSA. The early part of the war took over $350,000,000 a year to pay the army and navies.
The KGC had over 458,000 members by the time the first shots were fired at Ft. Sumter. They had infiltrated and added Texas, California and remnants of ten other states into the Union. At the time of the out-break of the Civil War the KGC was in the process of infiltrating Mexico and turning it into 20 or 30 states so the South would have more Senators and Congressmen than the northern States. When the Civil War started and newly elected President Abraham Lincoln asked for a call up of over 100,000 men to invade the South, the KGC brought all of it's members back from Mexico and infiltrated heavily the cities of the North.
The KGC could call up 100,000 soldiers anytime they needed them. How do you think the Southern States was able to establish all of the departments of government and efficiently run them to take on the most powerful country in the world. They were organized and well trained by the KGC. The KGC already had substantial monies raised and hidden away during the Civil War they only added more. There were 15 known depositories of the Confederate Government but there were scores more that only the KGC knew about. They added even more after the Civil War up until the beginning of World War I. Then both the North and the South had a common enemy and the KGC sealed their books, posted sentinels over their depositories and after the war they took funds and invested them into banks, railroads, colleges and real estate. Many of the wealthy and large businesses today found their seed money from the KGC. Even Jesse James saved three banks in Texas during the Depression.
All of this and more will be in a new book my partner and I are getting ready to take to publisher. We have found 58 depositories of KGC gold and will need someday extensive help from everyone to recover them. The book is entitled, "Secrets of the Lost Confederate Gold, As told by the Talking Trees."
