Adding to the plethora of Beale story alternative versions is the book by Emma Jean H Rose, "Mystery Beneath THE BANEBERRY BUSH".
Concerning the three ciphers of Thomas Jefferson Beale, the description mentions that "only paper number two had been deciphered...however, a new story emerges in the deciphered pages one and three...from the Beale cryptograms built around the life of an actual person in an actual place".
Of course the "actual person" is not Thomas Jefferson Beale and the "actual place" is Bedford, Pennsylvania, NOT Bedford count Virginia.
Another example how the ambiguity of the original Beale Papers lends to creative alternative versions.
