One such book is titled The Secret War for the Union. The book was written by a former WW II US Army intelligence officer. He was given a civilian job after the war in one of the related agencies. Years passed. In 1959, he was sent to retrieve documents from the national archives. He discovered a room half full of top secret files on the Union and Confederate military intelligence agencies. It was a stunning revelation of Civil war activities hidden from the American people. The book has a large section of photos that many were never before shown publicly. There was embarrassment shared by both sides. Neither side was anxious to have this made public. There is a unique connection to Dayton, OH that is revealed. The book was years in the preparation. Eventually the files were "digitized" and made ready for publication. In late 1998, the work was compiled and published. This book is a real eye opener into decisions made (good or bad) by the leaders of the various combatant forces. There is humor and tragedy, combined with grief and joy in these pages.

There are large deposits of Confederate gold planted in different parts of the USA. If you wander into into an area where generations of families still guard this "loot", you could wind up missing! It would be ugly. One of these sites is the so called "Lost Dutchman's mine of Arizona".

Technology discovered, invented by Nikola Tesla was marvelous. Nikola tesla Wiki Biography He is the man who gave us alternating electricity that makes our lives very comfortable today.

Some of them were missing! Beginning in 1920, the German government invested heavily in this man's research. The research and development did not end with the war in Europe. Lt. General Patton was seriously concerned with the ramifications of these developments. It was in his opinion in January 1945 that we could lose this war. He knew some of the things the Nazi government had succeeded in building. How much of his overall knowledge is only left to speculation.
