Where the Gold is Buried is based on a legend of Old Fort Niagara. Visitors to the fort may see an exhibit on legends of the fort, including the ghost of a French soldier who fought another over an Indian maiden, and the legend of 'The French Military Chest'. As readers of Where the Gold is Buried will learn - or which they may already know - is that the French, in a panic over the loss of the fort in 1759, buried the regiment's valuables within the fort. The burial spot was marked by at least one soldier, a Hessian, and when the Hessians were released from military prison in 1783, the one with the map staggered as far as the farm of Jeremiah Moore's father.
More on this later.
