The existence of the KGC is an established part of Civil War history, but the depth of influence Getler believes it had, and its continued secret operation, is not.

KGC的存在是内战历史的一部分,但盖特勒认为KGC的影响力及其持续的秘密行动却并非只是历史的一部分[GM^4ej6eg@o=RVx0+Xg

Getler believes that the KGC hid hundreds of caches of gold from the South up to Canada, and that a significant number remain undiscovered.

Since then, he has continued to look for evidence, and in the Dents Run story he thought he could spot clues and symbols that, to those who knew how to read them, were telltale signs of KGC involvement.

此后,他一直在寻找证据,他认为,在丹斯润地区的故事中,他可以发现一些线索和讯号,对那些懂得如果去阅读的人来说,这些线索和讯号能说明KGC参与的迹象~^akNMiK*N=8(*_+

Dennis says that he was skeptical when Getler approached him. He’d never heard of the KGC.

Still, the men kept speaking and soon found common ground.

The gold they believed they had located was on state land, so they needed the cooperation of Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to act further.

!3=HGcoQ7YHJF]j!Gj)M

他们认为他们找到的黄金是在国家的土地上,所以他们需要宾夕法尼亚州自然资源保护部(DCNR)的合作来进一步采取行动%DTe[YaW(4

*sqtaIU-%QW&MjtYH.^l

But DCNR and the Paradas had a long, complicated history and were currently at loggerheads.

但是,自然资源保护部和帕拉达家族有着漫长而复杂的历史,而且目前正处于对立状态#M8(P%jPQh_m-XcHI

There was, however, a possible way forward.

不过,还有一条可能的出路dMuRmII2Sk[W-Tp3

If the gold could be shown to have been federal property, as the narrative in the historical documentation seemed to suggest, then the FBI could step in and claim it for the United States government.

如果这些黄金可以被证明是联邦财产,就像历史文献中所描述的那样,那么联邦调查局就可以介入,宣称其为美国政府所有-&!KD,CZ+f]AYAO

So far, Dennis had failed to get the federal authorities interested. Getler offered to handle that.

“Sure enough, within a day or two, he calls back: ‘I got you in the FBI office headquarters, a meeting.’ And we’re like, ‘Holy shit.’”
