Author Bob Young presents a story of history, mystery, faith and
redemption played out in the closing days of the Civil War.
Confederate Treasury Agent Patrick Graham is dispatched to break up
a major counterfeiting operation. He falls for the affections of a
lonely war widow and is challenged to protect arriving railroad
cars filled with the Confederate treasury from Yankee raiders and a
local crime boss. "No episode of the dying days of the Confederacy
is more laden with mystery and romance than the story of the wagon
train carrying the remains of the Confederate treasury and the
deposits of the Richmond banks. Innumerable legends of buried
treasure continue to this day, and legend is the perfect locality
for fiction. Bob Young's Treasure Train combines thorough research
into the documented facts, with an imaginative narrative line, to
create a suspenseful and always entertaining seat in those wagons
for the reader. Heavily focused on Washington, Georgia, where the
remnants of the Confederate government at last dissolved, Treasure
Train is well worth getting a ticket to ride." - William C. Davis,
author of "An Honorable Defeat: The Last Days of the Confederate
Government" "Fascinating, Engrossing. Counterfeit Union greenbacks,
missing Confederate treasure. History, mystery, intrigue. Bob Young
has readers thinking." - Susan Polonus Mucha, author of "Die Before
Your Time" and "Deadly Deception" "Bob Young has written a riveting
account of love, loss, and redemption in the closing days of the
Civil War that crackles with suspense and drama. For lovers of
history as well as quality fiction, The Treasure Train is a must
read." - Ralph Reed, author of "Ballots and Blood" "Bob Young is
perfectly suited to write a book about the Civil War centered in
Augusta, Georgia. His time as an Augusta TV anchor gave him a
comprehensive view of the city that few individuals possess while
his TV work also honed his love of a good story. His experience as
Augusta's Mayor provided in-depth understanding of the city from
inside city hall. His federal service in Atlanta and Washington and
on the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation gave him
experience at the national level and showed his leadership in
preserving the nation's heritage." - W. Ray Luce, Past Director,
Historic Preservation Division, Georgia Department of Natural
Resources "A great read The Treasure Train is an intriguing mystery
plunged into the swirling chaos of the end of America's Civil War.
Bob Young's rich characters pop out from the historical backdrop of
the country in crisis, made all the more memorable as the solution
to the puzzle in the middle of this tale is revealed." - Marc
Hershon, co-author of "I Hate People " "I have known Bob Young for
over 20 years and am pleased to recommend his book 'The Treasure
Train.' His love of local history has led to this very interesting
account of counterfeiting Confederate money during the war and the
Confederate treasure train. It is a story that any history lover
will enjoy very much I am sure. Congratulations to Bob for sharing
this story with us " - Hugh Shull, author of "A Guide Book of
Southern States Currency"
