Life…Death…Iron

On a quiet July morning in July 1864 nine gaunt, half-starved men appeared on the streets of Canon City in Colorado Territory.  Mounted on the backs of skin and bone horses, each haggard man, with lips cracked and skin bronzed by the summer sun, carried two pistols and a rifle. The nine strangers wore a ragged melange of Union blue, Confederate gray, and civilian calico. The Canon City locals thought that one or two of the men seemed strangely familiar. Silently, the men passed through town, disappearing into the sandy hills along the Arkansas River to the west.

Over the next month these mysterious visitors would commit a series of robberies along the old Fairplay-to-Denver stagecoach road. Dubbed “The Reynolds Gang” their escapades would come to a violent crescendo high in Geneva Gulch where they a shootout with a pursuing posse would send the gang scattering into the night. But before The Reynolds Gang dissolved, they buried a treasure of gold, coin, and paper money worth an estimated $40,000 in 1864- a treasure which has never been found…or has it?

The deeds of The Reynolds Gang have morphed into one of Colorado’s greatest Old West legends- a legend of violence, murder, and buried treasure that still captivates the minds of people today. But is the story we have been told for the past 160 years the truth?
