The Legend of a Massive Buried 1830s Cache Near Tahlequah and the Outlaw Story of Blackface
In some versions, the treasure was buried hurriedly because the gang was being pursued. In others, the men were killed before they could recover it. The value is often inflated in the retelling, which is common in buried-treasure folklore. A hidden cache grows larger every time the story is told because the mystery improves when the reward becomes enormous.
