Kammerer, Roger

Abstract:

There was a long held tradition told in Pitt County that there was a man from Pactolus whose daughter married Frank James, the outlaw, brother of Jesse James. The tale had grown over the years to include stories of hidden treasure at Pactolus. Kammerer lays out the story, combined with facts, to show how the story was fascinating, but wasn’t true.
