I wondered about that. I know one of the KGC stashes was found, but it's widely known there were more still lost.
It’s interesting (as I understand) that the monies the James and Younger gangs stole was never recovered and they never lived lavishly off of it. Brewer and Peterson present some pretty compelling evidence in their books. Peterson makes claim that his grandfather was one of the Sentinels guarding the stashes in Missouri, but didn’t figure that out until later in life, hence his book.
That whole Border Wars part of the CW is very interesting. The history written of it has a lot of (((yankee))) stink on it as per usual.
Ever see Ride With The Devil?
Never seen it
It’s a well done film (1999) about the borderland war between Kansas union abolitionist and Missouri “bushwackers” loosely tied to Quantrell Raiders during the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas. Tobey McGuire, Skeet Ulrich and Jewel are main characters. Worth a watch if you get a chance.
