Jubal's Gold

The American civil war is raging. Union forces are converging on Dahlonega Georgia where Confederate gold is stored. Jubal Rawlings is assigned to hide it in the North Georgia mountains. He does so just before a Union cavalry detachment catches up with him. Jubal dies after the battle and the ton of gold is lost to history.
150 years later, clues to its location are unearthed by a young couple who have nothing to lose but to hunt for it. This is the story of a remarkable young woman who has the grit and determination to keep what is hers.
I love treasure hunting stories and wanted to write one, somehow related to the civil war. I’m from the South and so much of who we are as a group is defined by that conflict of our ancestors. I tend to create characters who seem ill equipped for the situation, but somehow find the resources within themselves to prevail. There are twists and turns you won’t expect and I hope to entertain. And sell books of course.
