In the Shadow of Gold by Michael Kenneth Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The United States 1865, towards the end of the Civil War that ravaged the United States, there is much that happened that is recorded in history. One such event is the loss of the Confederate Treasure that was travelling with the Confederate president and then was lost. In this story, the man guarding the treasure states that a man named Yancey Arvindale (later known by Arvin), stole the treasure and hid it away. This book, set against the backdrop of this tumultuous time, gives us an intriguing account of what might have happened to the lost treasure.
A fascinating tale, I did not know anything about the lost Confederacy treasure and spent a few minutes researching and reading up on the topic prompted by this book. Always a good thing when a book can get you to learn about new things, even if the book is fiction. A good story and a great way to spend some downtime.
