This book details a solution to a code found in a pamphlet (The Beale Papers) printed in Virginia in 1885 which purported to describe the location of a lost treasure in Bedford County, Virginia. Unfortunately for treasure hunters, the author shows there never has been a treasure. The whole story of the treasure is an allegory. The real story, which emerged as the author broke the code, is detailed in this book along with the method used to break the code. Approx. 185 pages.
