It started with the mysterious disappearance of a king’s ransom in gold ingots from the docks of Charleston, South Carolina. Gold intended to influence the Confederate States to favor France in her trade agreements after the South won the American Civil War. It became a story of vengeance, envy, revenge, and betrayal.
It is a story of love lost but never forgotten, of dedication to family and to duty. It tells of a family torn apart … and reunited; a bond that overcomes time and distance and illness and old wounds.
It all came to a dramatic climax in a small village along the Missouri River in Kansas.
