Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we’ll combine a good ghost story with a treasure hunt. Today we are going to chase three of Tennessee's most compelling treasure legends. We begin at a time before before America existed, with Spanish gold and the Cherokee warriors who guarded it along the Elk River. Then we head east to the misty hollows of Greenbrier Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains, where a blacksmith found something in a hillside that he spent the rest of his life hiding, and possibly never told a single living soul about. Finally, we’ll end in the chaos and desperation of the Civil War, with a Confederate paymaster riding hard through the night to bury sixty thousand dollars in gold coins before the Yankees could take it.
