Publisher's Synopsis
In the summer of 1864 a gang of outlaws dubbed "The Reynolds Gang" carried out a series of robberies in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Their escapades came to an end with a wild shootout in a secluded gulch, and the subsequent arrest, trial, and execution of the gang members. Along the way, The Reynolds Gang buried a treasure of gold and currency that is still searched for today in the foothills west of Denver, Coiorado. The Reynolds Gang Unmasked is the very first in-depth work regarding the gang, and covers the legend, the truth, and the treasure hunt. The author positively identifies the members of The Reynolds Gang, and conclusively proves they were Confederate soldiers from the 3rd Texas Cavalry Regiment carrying out clandestine military orders far behind enemy lines in 1864. Also solved is the true identity of brothers Jim and John Reynolds, leaders of the gang. Over a decade in the making The Reynolds Gang Unmasked is treasure trove of long-forgotten and supressed material. Exhaustive research supported by historic military documents, census records, newspaper articles, and family genealogical data make The Reynolds Gang Unmaksed the definitive history of The Reynolds Gang, their buried treasure, and those who have sought their hiden fortune. A must have for any Colorado, Old West, or Civil War history buff!
