BRAND NEW FROM BOB YOUNG

Available Now!



The events of May 24, 1865 in Lincoln County, Ga., spawned a legend that has taken on a life of its own.  

A wagon train loaded with nearly a half million dollars in gold coins is robbed in the middle of the night, apparently by Confederate veterans, who believe the stash to be the remnants of their failed government's treasury.  

The hunt for the thieves and their loot is an adventure of its own, but a Union general's use of torture on a prominent family only serves to inflame the local population and to heat up already volatile tempers.  

GRABALL ROAD is the true story behind the "Legend of the Confederate Gold."

Decide for yourself whether a pot of Confederate gold lies buried somewhere deep in this river valley.

COMING THIS SUMMER FROM BOB YOUNG:


NISH is a historical novel based on the life of Abraham Dionysius Chenault, a minister and physician from Lincoln County, Georgia, who lived from the 1830s-1880s.  Nish, as folks called him, is perhaps best-known for being tortured by a fanatical Union general in his search for the proceeds from the robbery of a wagon train of gold in the summer of 1865.  The beloved planter was an outspoken supporter of secession and a popular preacher at Methodist camp meetings, despite lacking formal religious training.  After relocating to Northeast Georgia, Chenault became a Presbyterian preacher and held himself out as a physician, while lacking any formal medical education.  Bad financial dealings and poor business relationships threatened to expose his incredibly creative deception and destroy his facade as a trusted, well-respected pillar in his community.  NISH could best be described as the South's man of mystery and deception.
