Confederate President Jefferson Davis and much of his administration had fled Richmond, accompanied by an escort of cavalry, various hangers-on, and all that was left of the treasury. With the Davis party was a navy paymaster, James S. Semple. In Washington, Georgia, a small town untouched by the war, he was entrusted with $86,000 in gold coin and bullion (about $1 million in today's money) and disappeared into the night. The treasure was secured in the false bottom of a carriage. \u003cem\u003eThe Rebel and the Rose\u003c\/em\u003e reveals for the first time what happened to the Confederate gold, until now a mystery.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1581826699\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781581826692\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Wesley Millett and Gerald White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43236420288728,"sku":"9781581826692","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43236420321496,"sku":"9781581825831","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/9781581825831_FChigh_mockup_v2_1710777427_e8cec870-f556-4499-a496-b4318b5659e5.jpg?v=1791024635"}],"url":"https:\/\/turnerpublishing.com\/collections\/author-gerald-white.oembed","provider":"Turner Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
