Description:SECRET SOCIETY-HIDDEN TREASURE-REBEL GOLD-MURDERDet. Annie Avants' cousin, Zack, lives in Mena, Arkansas and has come into possession of three hidden journals written by one of his ancestors who was deeply involved with the Knights of the Golden Circle, a secret society active before and during the Civil War. The journals spell out the locations of some of the biggest caches of 'rebel gold' hidden by the KGC to fund a second Civil War. Zachary Isom Avants is a history buff and an avid genealogist who searches throughout Arkansas for the ruins of the many abandoned cabins and homesteads left behind by his ancestors. For years, he has been tracking down these abandoned homesteads, looking for artifacts and information on the lives of his long-dead relatives.Deep in the Ouachita forests, he comes across a caved-in pit that is the cellar of what's left of a cabin that hasn't been touched for almost 100 years. The site is covered with brush and vines. He almost misses seeing it.Zack sets up camp next to the pit and begins clearing away the brush. It was a small cabin, but not the typical "sentinel outpost" shack that the KGC used to guard their secret hoards. When he can safely climb down into the pit, he finds an indentation in the far wall of the root cellar. He carefully digs and finds, hidden inside a small opening, a cast iron skillet with a lid that has been sealed with pitch.Excited, he takes the skillet to his makeshift table outside and unseals the lid. Inside, wrapped in many layers of oil cloth, he finds three journals. One is a copy of a daybook kept by someone high up in the KGC during the Civil War. The only signature is 'Avants'. The other two journals were penned by Zack's great grandfather, Orris Avants.Unknown to Zack, the leadership of the modern KGC is aware that these journals still exist, but have never been able to find them. When he and his friend, Luke, discuss the journals at a local cafe in Hatfield, their conversation is overheard by a local old-timer who calls the KGC. The KGC is determined to recover the Journals. Why? They don't know what caches the journals expose, and they don't want treasure seekers finding their hidden treasures.The American government is also interested in the KGC and the millions of dollars they stole and hid. FBI Special Agent Connor Smith also receives a phone call from the old-timer about the conversation he overheard in the Hatfield cafe. Agent Smith goes on full alert, determined to get his hands on the journals and recover as much of the stolen loot as possible.Zack finally realizes the significance of his find and mails the journals to his cousin, Annie, in California. He knows he is being followed and that he, his family, and his friends are in danger.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
