I have Been Checking out this story !
Indiana Treasure :
In 1862 Union soldiers were ordered to take a large amount of gold and silver, believed to be a government payroll, across the Ohio River from Kentucky into Indiana. They then followed the old Corydon Pike, now Hwy 62, for 5 miles and there buried the money. The payroll is believed to be buried near the railroad tracks just before starting up the hill to Edwardsville on Hwy 62 on the right side of the road heading west.
1. I can not Find any Historical data to support Union troops crossing Into Indiana 1862 ?
Anyone know where to look
2. There is no history ( error) of a town, or
station with the name Edwardsville
I found a Church with name Edwardsville still in operations.
3.. Union Army did not? transport payroll in Gold.
Sorry for miss information!
I am on the Trail Now !!! :
Not worthy: A. Google Maps Or Google Earth Not complete !
B. Found Edwardsville on Map Quest !! All Information in legend matches the Map !
