The March Issue of "Lost Treasure Magazine" is out with one of my stories from my CD, "Tales of Treasure" The article is entitled, "Lost Peddler's Cache," of Leet, West Virginia, a story I wrote about 13 to 14 years ago. There are currently 12 other stories on this CD. Two more of my stories will be published next month in the April Issue of "Lost Treasure Magazine"----"Pinckneyville, Fort Knox of the Confederacy in South Carolina" and the "Battle for Brice's Crossroads' in Baldwyn, Mississippi. My favorite is "Virginia's Mummy" of Chesterfield County, Virginia or maybe "Salvadus" down near Blaine County, Virginia or maybe "The treasure of Saddle Tree Gap" in McDowell County, West Virginia, where I was born and raised. I guess what I am trying to say is I like them all and wished I had all the others written but it is going to take me a while. I will continue to add stories to this CD, as I have several to write but I haven't gotten around to it yet. The price of this CD is $20. at my website: www.hunteroflosttreasures.com

From my book, "In Search of Fort Mayo" I had where I had found both Fort Mayo and Fort Trial. I was never able to get landowner permission but today I have permission to go on the land for an excavation of Fort Trial. I am presently getting together a Virginia State Archeologist and a photographer to record this historic occasion. Another going along has attended Archeology courses in college. It seems we may finally locate this old frontier fort called Fort Trial. www.hunteroflosttreasures.com

James Frank Carroll author of the book "Confederate Gold in Danville" died Monday, March 3, 2008. He had written five other books and was a rouving professor for the past 12 years in Virginia and North Carolina. I wrote a book for J. Frank Carroll last winter, "ADDENDUM: Confederate Treasure in Danville" The book had been at the publisher's office since 27th day of January, 2007. I doubt now whether the book will be published or not. The book is mostly research to assist a treasure hunter searching for "Confederate Gold in Danville" I have been selling several copies of this book on my website at www.hunteroflosttreasures.com However, the last chapter has not been finished------we were to write it together. I will ask his brother, Phillip, which is the executor of Frank's estate to see if he wants to have the book published? If not I will continue to sell them on CD until I can have them published one day myself. Thanks to all for reading. God Bless Frank, gone to a better place.

I received a book review from Florida today and I thought I would share some of the highlights with you:
Hey Albert,
That is a great book you wrote! I can see you did a heck of a lot of research. It needs to be printed and bound. From the volume and quality of research you did.......should see that you are not primarily interested in treasure but history. That's the kind of thing the Florida State Archaeologists like to see when considering to grant a salvage permit. I hope they will give you a recovery permit this summer.
You should take the extra research and the "ADDENDUM" and put it together with your book (Lost Treasury Gold) for publishing. It would hit the best sellers list and put more......to give you a permit.
Keep in touch.

I went to the publisher today. Not good news. They want $10,000 up front just to start a production of the book. Then about $2,000 per 100 books which would be over $20. a book not counting the $10,000 ---------- SO THE FIRST 100 books would cost $120. each. Hard to sell them at that price. I will have to wait and publish about 2,500 at once to bring down the cost where I can afford to sell the books. It is going to be quite a while the way our economy is now. So, if anyone is interested in my 6 books, it looks like the books I have on CD's for $20. is the best way to go. www.hunteroflosttreasures.com1. Lost Diary of Thomas Jefferson Beall, East Coast Edition 2. Lost Treasury Gold, Confederate States of America, Volume 1 3. Tales of Treasure, 14 stories of treasures I have searched for 4. In Search of Fort Mayo, 1756 Frontier Fort---Golden Guienas 5. ADDENDUM: Confederate Gold in Danville 6. MYSTERY BOOK about CSA GOLD 142 pages

MYSTERY BOOK about CSA GOLD 142 pages I have written two chapters to my 7th book called, "FOUND: Fort Trial" A frontier fort built in 1756, visited by Colonel George Washington in the Fall of 1756. It is truly a magnificent find. Local Historians have been searching for this fort for over forty years. They thought the US 220 bypass took it out when under construction but no I believe it is still there. We will see. Thanks to everyone.

Three of my stories from my book, "Tales of Treasure" have been published in the last two editions of "Lost Treasure" magazine. "Lost Peddler's Cache," Pinckneyville, Fort Knox of the Confederacy," and "The Battle for Brice's Crossroads."
Two more are under consideration for this month's upcoming edition, "The Treasure of Saddle-Tree Gap," and "$14 Billion----White Gold"
Some of the other stories that have been published, "Park's Ferry Gold," "Cabinet Car Gold," "Pot of Gold in Copper Valley," "Confederate Treasury in Danville," "Ole Jube's Gold," and there are others-----------I just can't think of the names of the stories, right now. I plan on going back and look through the publications, then I can give the full names of all the stories and the dates and the name of the magazines.
I still have a total of eight stories at "Lost Treasure," magazine, they look them over every now and then to see if any of the stories fit their format for that month, then they notify me of when they are going to publish them. I now have a total of 14 stories in my CD, "Tales of Treasures, Treasures that I have searched for."
The CD books are selling most of the 50 states now being covered and four foriegn countries join in on the list and it keeps growing.
When I can get things sorted out and our economy grows stronger, I will then consider have the books published, until then the CD books will have to do. Thanks.

I sent my five CD books off to Michigan on Monday in hopes their influence can help me get the word out about my books. Peter Viemeister sells his books on this website also as well as hundreds of others.
I will be making dozens of CD's of my books and will have them destributed at the Peak's of Otter Lodge, Peter V's book store and the Last Capitol of the Confederacy in Danville. I also plan to donate a 40 inch by 40 inch map of Danville made on April 10, 1865---------the day the CSA Government left Danville for Greensboro. The frame alone cost $400. I had it made to promote the book sells of J. Frank Carroll's book, "Confederate Treasure in Danville, THE ADDENDUM." Since he has passed on and I was "ghostwriter" for the book, I will publish the book myself. I already have it on CD should anyone be interested. Frank had high hope of making $$$$$$$$$$ from the sale of the book and with the funds he was going to built a Civil War Historic Park on Craghead and Lynn Streets in Danville, around the Richmond and Danville Railroad Depot. Lost hopes and dreams I suppose but if I could recover the CSA Treasury that was my plans also------that is why I entered into a contract with Frank last year. Someday maybe?

I still have not got Peter V. and the Last Capitol of the Confederacy nor the Peaks of Otter to sell my books yet but I am working on finalizing an agreement. I spoke to two of them today and I hope to talk to the third one tomorrow. Still talking to the distributor in Michigan also. He already purchased five to preview before he starts marketing the CD books for me. I hope to have the "Diary of Thomas J. Beall" published by next April. If all goes well with the economy and gas prices don't go to much higher.
I have three locations in Bedford County yet to search for the Beale Treasure, when? I don't exactly know, but I do believe that treasure of Thomas J. Beall is buried on two of these locations, maybe all three. We will see.
The CSA Treasury in Danville, I have two genealogist researching into my ancestors on my mother's side of the family. I believe I am heir to the property where the treasure is buried? If I can prove this beyond any doubt, I may be able to dig it up with or without City of Danville permission. Just a few of the things I am working on.
I am also reading old trapper's journals and letters trying to find the demise of Beale's Party out west. The 20 white men killed on the Platte River, I do not believe were the Beale Party. I researched and found out last night that these 20 men were out Taos, NM and worked for General William Ashley. They were 20 members of his 130 trappers and hunters that worked for him up until 1820. Ashley was Lt. Governor of Missouri from 1820 to 1824. So they would have been working for Ashley partner a man by the name of Smith. They were killed before May 18,1825. doesn't say exactly when but that was they day it was recorded in Ashley's diary by the two French informers. Have a great day.

Between 1809 and 1832, I read several Indian Battles with other Indians. In about each and everyone of the battles 20 or more whites were killed in the Indian Villages. There were a lot of whites, especially French from New Orleans, the Illinois and Ohio Territories as well as from Virginia. The Crow Indians was led into battle by a man from Virginia. In 1832 after a battle in which 35 Crow Indians were killed there was a huge meteor shower-------this was sometime in October, 1832. He told the Indians that the Gods were angry and they had to give all of their valuable possessions to get the Gods not to be angry anymore. He had the Crow Indians take a large brass cooking pot that would hold ten gallon; he had them polish and shine the pot till it shined like the moon. He then got them to place all of their prized possessions such as pearl necklaces, gold and silver necklaces, arm bands and whatever else they prized into the pot. When the pot was completely full, he had it lowered into the river. He told the Indians the river would wash away their sins and transgressions against the Gods. Of course you know he went back later recovered the ten gallon of jewelry and sold it in St. Louis.
Many such things he did, when he went into a Battle with other Indians there would be 2,500 or more on each side, at times 10,000. In one battle he killed 14 Indians himself with a tomahawk, he said it dripped with blood down his arm. During this battle he had three horses killed he was riding. Interesting reading but I still have not decided which of the villages wiped out or killed whites were Beale's Party but there was a lot of killing going on in the area Beale's Party was mining the gold at.

They were killed before May 18,1825. doesn't say exactly when but that was they day it was recorded in Ashley's diary by the two French informers. Have a great day. Two of my CD Books, "Lost Treasury Gold, Confederate States of America, Volume 1" and "Confederate Treasure in Danville, THE ADDENDUM," will go on sale shortly at the "Last Capitol of the Confederacy," the Sutherlin Mansion on Main Street in Danville, Virginia. The CD Book, "Lost Diary of Thomas J. Beall" is presently on sale at Peter Viemeister's Book Store on Main Street in Bedford, Virginia. Also starting this weekend the CD Book will go on sale at the Peaks of Otter Lodge on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My CD Book, "Tales of Treasure" has another story that will be published in "Lost Treasure" magazine in the October Issue. The story, "The Treasure of Saddle-Tree Gap" it is mostly about a missing Yankee Civil War Payroll that was buried near Chapmansville, West Virginia. Was recovered by Buck Lester and took back to the Saddle_Tree Gap near where he lived in Peapatch. The story is also about how I got interested in treasure hunting, about ghost and a "big foot." Should be right interesting. My other CD Book, "In Search of Fort Mayo" will soon shed some light on my Discovery of Fort Mayo and Fort Trial. Two southernmost forts built in 1756 against Indian Attacks, just before the French and Indian Wars. I hope everyone enjoys the CD's and their stories. I have several I have not written yet, but I will write them when time permits. I am still actively trying to get access to check out the Beall Treasure Vault. I was in Danville today promoting my CD Books, stopped at the Historical Society, at the Sutherlin Mansion, dropped in on the Assistant City Manager Office and visited the City Clerk's Office for a will. I am working hard making things happen whether others believe me or not. I am also seeking other outlets for my books. When I have enough funds raised, I hope to then dig up the CSA Treasury. Good Luck to all. Visit my website at www.hunteroflosttreasures.com
