As far as I can tell though (from reading some of the reviews), the hoard of gold hidden in the Arkansaw mountains by the KGC was raised after the WBTS ended, rather than before.
The reviews were wrong.
There is an interesting understory of how Jesse James (all THREE of him!) worked for The Knights Of The Golden Circle to increase the hoard, but the majority of the (so claimed) vast fortune buried from Georgia to the Superstitious Mountains was from the removed Confederate treasury.
You ain't the first person who wondered where it went.
