  • The Quest for Confederate Treasure: Arkansas Secrets & The Knights of the Golden Circle

    The Quest for Confederate Treasure: Arkansas Secrets & The Knights of the Golden Circle
    Mar 18 2026
    This is the first of three episodes over the Quest for Confederate Treasure which follows Bob Brewer as he hunts for Rebel Gold. I open the episode with Bob Brewer and his upbringing in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas where he learns of his family’s ties to buried treasure. I then move to the complete history of the Knights of the Golden Circle from their beginning to the time they go underground after the Civil War. This episode takes place entirely in the East and South but by the third episode, we will be in the American Southwest as we follow Bob’s hunt for Confederate Treasure into the Superstition Mountains. The journey to those desert peaks is thrilling and almost unbelievable.

  • The Imperial Adventure of Zebulon Montgomery Pike: Peace & Friendship

    The Imperial Adventure of Zebulon Montgomery Pike: Peace & Friendship
    Jan 21 2026
    In this episode I cover the rising tensions between the United States and Spain after Jefferson’s acquisition of the Louisiana Territory which nearly brought us to war with the Catholic Kingdom. Zebulon Montgomery Pike is selected by the Governor of Upper Louisiana Territory, US General, and Spanish spy James Wilkinson to explore the Great Plains & find the headwaters of the Arkansas River. This mission is a ruse though, and the real plan was for Zeb to get captured by the Spanish and be given a tour of the province of New Spain before being escorted back to Louisiana. This episode covers the first leg of this journey as Pike and his men escort Osage Indians from St. Louis to their lands in Kansas via various rivers. Pike will then head north towards the Pawnee where high tensions between the White and the Red man almost reach a deadly crescendo.
