Blackburn, Charles, Jr.

Abstract:

North Carolina has a rich history of stories of buried treasure. Over the centuries many North Carolinians, armed with shovels, maps, or just word-of-mouth, have sought these riches. Blackburn discusses some of these treasure troves, including Blackbeard's gold, gold buried by Confederates near the end of the Civil War, and Money Island in Greenville Sound near Wrightsville Beach.
