Here is just one (teaser) page I retrieved that corraborates (sic) a few details. I have over 150 pages of newspapers, maps, and journals that are all starting to paint a very clear picture now.
Wow, that is actually very interesting. Did anyone ever find the treasure? Is that what you're trying to do? I love reading old newspapers. I work for my local newspaper, and sometimes I like to dig back to the early 1900's and read. It's so amazing how the world has changed since then.
