Three years ago a surprise birthday present from my wife was a dinner engagement with Frank Carroll, the author of "Confederate Treasure in Danville." In route to dinner, I was presented with a copy of this book and needless to say, I was very apprehensive of my meeting with Frank as well as the existence of any treasure in Danville. Two hours later, I had a new friend and firm belief that the War Between the States left behind some undiscovered Mexican silver. Never have I seen so much research invested in any single book. Frank Carroll has traveled and spoke to my Rotary Club as well as the Southside Funeral Director's Association, both of which I am the President. Frank also spoke to my wife's garden club as well as a Father's Day Brunch at our church. At a time when so much of our Southern History is being buried, I for one am proud to know Frank Carroll and his inspiration to dig up some history. Pick the book up and you won't sit it down.

The Author's book really gave me insight into some of the history of my hometown. I had often heard rumors of a hidden treasure here, but after reading "Confederate Treasure in Danville" it made me a believer.

Usually I am not one who is very interested in history but recently when I found out that there was a treasure in my hometown I was truly captivated. I decided to find out information that would lead me to finding this treasure, the most interesting book I came across about this subject was Confederate Treasure in Danville, by J. Frank Carroll. The information was very interesting and currently I have also found that some coins were found in Danville, Virginia already. I would highly recommend this book to any treasure hunters,lovers of history and also for anyone who is interested in a good mystery.
