Bighorn River Treasure

Bighorn River Treasure

During the Battle of Little Bighorn, General Custer was defeated, and steam boat captain, Grant Marsh, steadily headed West to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers in order to bring the men supplies and aid. He ended up gathering as many wounded he could. In the meantime, he needed to release some cargo in order to maintain the ship's weight. According to legend, Marsh buried around $375, 000 in gold along the shore of Bighorn River. The gold has never been publicly recovered, but there are more stories of where it was buried and also possibly discovered.
