Who is Oscar?

[Bigcypresshunter]

This is not a "What Is it" but more of a "Who Is It?"

The question is: Who is Oscar Thomas Shultz?

I imagine most of you have read Marcs story. The name came up on another thread and I have taken the liberty to post the question here before the board. I hope its OK. If not, Im sure it can be deleted easily.

Most of you have read Marcs amazing story. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,28494.0.html

In one of these sessions... it spelled out "Oscar Thomas Shultz I dug hole chest went shot in back drug and thrown on chest facing north of big tree save my soul by finding me in direction of sun leaving in cedar clump area".


The ouija board spelled "Oscar" over and over, but its a name that Marc has not tracked down. (UNLIKE when it spelled "Juan Casas 1811")

I thought we may be able to help.


Early on the board spelled "much ground has washed over treasure since Juan Casas was here 1811".
Marc is the guy who uncovered the truth about Juan Bautista de las Casas....

(see the credits near the top)

Marc stated that one of the great revelations in his research was reading the Jose Antonio Navarro memoirs.....
http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/adp/history/bios/navarro/navarro1.html
In his own words he says the Alamo was a footnote to Texas history - the real event occurred January 22nd 1811, when Juan Casas marched into town and arrested the governors... THAT is when Spain stopped funding Texas.


Bramblefind is already researching this and I hope she will post her findings. It may be impossible to find this man Oscar but I have seen impossible things done here in the What Is It forum. Any and all comments welcome as far as Im concerned.

He could have lived anywhere in 1810-1811, may be difficult - check Nuevo Leon... and other northern Mexico states. Marc says in 1811, it was not unusual to use German mercenaries to do the dirty work in Spanish Texas. Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Bejar, Tamaulapis, even Durango - this might be a name that can not be dug up - but Marc believes he existed, and dug the hole Casas put the chests in.

I've found some Oscar Shultz (many variations on this surname spelling) references in the San Antonio Tx area in the later 19th century/ Researching the 1811 time period is very tough going though.

I just found this interesting story from Arizona....

Oscar SHULTZ
Upper Coyote Creek (Three Forks) Cemetery
Apache County, Arizona

Oscar Shultz
Shot May 17, 1922

Oscar Shultz, who was a German immigrant borne in 1896 and worked as a Farm laborer in Nutrioso, Apache County, Arizona, robbed a store in mid-May of 1922 and fled South on horseback. The Apache County Posse caught up with him south of Hannagan Meadows in Greenlee County at the Blue Lookout and was shot dead on the 17th of May, 1922.
They put the body across his horse and were returning his body to Nutrioso but for some unknown reason, they decided to bury his body about half-way back at the present location of Upper Coyote Creek (Three Forks).
Rumors have it that a family in the Springerville area still has his boots.

The grave is located at the junction of Forest Service Roads 276 and 8083.
To find the location from Alpine, Arizona from U.S. Highway 191. Take U.S. 191 north of Alpine, turn west onto Forest Service Rd #249 and go about 4 7/10 miles then turn south onto Forest Service Rd. #276 and go about 3 miles to the junction of #276 and 8083. The Grave is about 50 yards off to your left.
