GOLDEN CIRCLE COONS

Post by MrBlister »

Here's 5 newbies just arrived TEXAS
in grand fashion. Doing an Anita Bryant Orange Parade wave..

I got interested in this club, after seeing a documentary
on Jesse James. Who it turned out was a leader of the
confederate malicia KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE.
He robbed the banks to fund these small
groups for rations and weapons to wreak havoc on the Yanks.
Anyone with more data on this club ??

hope yawlll enjoy these.... and BOY O BOY didnt
those hillbillys find hanzome stag.

Mighty fine looking knives. Would those be of Japanese or Chinese origin?

I've heard a little about them, B.
Mysterious organization formed in the 1850s, allegedly by Virginian George Beckley. (in Kentucky no less)
alleged members from General Sibley who led the Confederatoes to Brazil, to John Wilkes Booth.
Some claim this as the predecessor to the Klan, some say they were the backbone of the Copperhead movement in Ohio, some they they organized Morgan's Raid.
They're making headlines nowadays for the secret symbols that allegedly lead to buried treasure.
Interesting group if you're into history and mystery.

Or wuz you talking about the knife club :lol: ... I hear they are in Jackson Tennessee ... ::paranoid::

KNICE KNIVES, BTW :D
