GOOD! You want to start R & I... WHAT do you want...? HISTORY... Treasures... Treasure Signs...? MY "start" was with REBEL GOLD/SHADOW OF THE SENTINEL by Bob & Warren... Civil War-related, (area of interest).

Rebel , i have a 20year old who is more interested in kgc treasures than he is in playing video games which i think is awesome... he doesn't even like video games. So he has some potential. I bought him a couple books but thought why not ask the experts on this one. Thanks guys !

oredigger, looks like you hit the right thread as you have good info already. I will add one more book to your ''to buy'' list. let this one be your first one, '' The ones that got away '' by L. C. Baker - available at Amazon.com.
This book will show you how a trail was started, and where, plus it is history untold in public schools and news media.
I suppose you already know that REAL history has been shut out by certain people. Good luck on your studies.

Be very careful with it, once you start reading you won't be able to put it down.

start reading with plenty of this.

i've never read with coffee , but i do read with glasses..... LOL . actually i drink 3 pots of coffee a day ... or more.

Man, man, man, coffee is my second nature. !00% Arabica. I wonder if it might help my AT Gold if I pour some in? I know it sure helps a day of reading.
Oredigger, see what all you can find out about Wyuka Cemetery in L. C.'s book. Veerrrryyyy interesting. I just wish I had the money to go there and spend a couple of days, but that's a long ways from L A-- Lower Alabama.

Not sure about your AT GOLD but my infinium loves coffee. Old cemetery's are awesome , and Wyuka ( 1869 ) would indeed be alot of fun. Sure hope my books start rolling in soon , i hate waiting. seems like time wasted to me.

The books that were mention are all excellent. Have most of them in my collection. As far as cemeteries go here is one I am investigating. Scottsville Cemetery / Youree Chapel | Resources by Index Name | Harrison County Historic Sites Survey | Harrison County | Regional Resources Map for East Texas History | Center for Regional Heritage Research | SFASU. We have many old cemeteries in our area and a lot of K.G.C. activity. Each of the old cemeteries have to be gone thru almost stone by stone. Most of the local monuments have to be looked at also.
