YEP! Peter wrote a book (now, out of print) CONFEDERATE TREASURE COVER-UP: Duty, Honor, & DECEIT. He also alluded to this in his second book, THE BEALE TREASURE: NEW History of a Mystery; TWO "Sources". Railroad Train off-loaded several coffins of "CSA" dead Rebels (REALLY Gold, Silver, Jewelry) (Thaxton, VA. I think) & buried it near-by (James River), for further transport to Lexington, Va./VMI.Are you, my friend, able to presents any credible documentation outside of Ward's Beale Papers that anything in the narrative text occurred outside of the job print pamphlet's pages?

YOUR opinion... other opinions are welcome.My "all in the Ward/Risque family" references found throughout the Beale narrative text is more plausible than force fitting a Confederate coverup conspiracy connection to a fictional period adventure treasure dime novel.
The only mention being "During the second year of the Confederate War..." makes the theory another forced fitted unrelated patchwork pieced together to support a pet theory.
While an interesting read, there is NO actual proof that ties PV speculation to Ward's BEALE PAPERS.
Talked to PV, before he passed away about he last book, & the CSA/Beale Treasure "theory". Based on what I know about ''local" history, Civil War, etc. I BELIEVE him. R & I is STILL on-going.

Heh...But the beales codes were a work of fiction. Like believing the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books were historical fact...
What...? Can you scan it...?That is what professional US Government codebreaker Elizabeth Smith Friedman concluded in her 1930 letter to Clayton Hart.
The date I posted was wrong, the letter to Clayton I Hart was dated 4 March 1938 and was written when Elizabeth S Friedman worked as a codebreaker for the US Coast Guard, Division of Intelligence.What...? Can you scan it...?

Due to the conspicuously obvious fact that NO outside sources exist that collaborate the Beale perilous adventure treasure story outside of Ward's copyrighted published pamphlet, many theories like PV's CSA treasure coverup and aftermath versions like THE HART PAPERS and Claudia Fulton Ellis's why the KEY was never delivered story continue to expand the Beale fictional tale.Talked to PV, before he passed away about he last book, & the CSA/Beale Treasure "theory".

ONLY the TITLE of "Ward's copyrighted public pamphlet" was COPY-RIGHTED; NOT the "STORY".Due to the conspicuously obvious fact that NO outside sources exist that collaborate the Beale perilous adventure treasure story outside of Ward's copyrighted published pamphlet, many theories like PV's CSA treasure coverup and aftermath versions like THE HART PAPERS and Claudia Fulton Ellis's why the KEY was never delivered story continue to expand the Beale fictional tale.
