The Treasure Map of Our Family

Families, Legacies and History, Things are known, Rumors told, And secrets hidden. Yet hundreds of years pass in time. The legend passes thru, The lips and ears of the descendants. The stories that are passed down, From generation to generation, Are given new light when, One piece of a document is found. All of the rumors, All of the stories, And all of the secrets are found to be true. One ancestor who is known to be a robber, A hero, a father and a brother. He holds all the gold and buries it, With a treasure map like none other. Mother Nature holds all the secrets. We call her Mother Earth. She knows his secrets. She knows who he is but not his name. But in our family we just call him Jesse. He is my cousin and it's a true story.

Oh Thank You so much girl. I truly appreciate that. My cuz Jesse put his signature symbols and clues all over the place mostly in OK and Missouri. Some gold has been found. But there is so much more that hasn't been found. When my GGF was little Jesse told him where the gold was in his hometown.... When my grandfather was older he went to look for it and yeah it was there. My cuz was Jesse James. Again Thanks.
