Introduction

The Best Mystery in Texas
For almost 100 years, strange lights have been appearing in the desert sky near Marfa, Texas. Although a lot of people, including the crew of the popular television show "Unsolved Mysteries," have searched for an explanation, none has been found.

The Guns of the 49th Division
Following World War II, enough guns and equipment to outfit an entire division were buried somewhere north of Paris, Texas. No one knows, or will admit to knowing, just where the guns were planted.
13
The Pool of Vanishing Blood
Immediately following the shooting of John Kennedy, a mysterious pool of blood was found on the steps leading from the grassy knoll. Thanks to the insistence of the FBI, the story has not been published until now.
37
The Ghost of Love
In 1903, Texas State Comptroller R. M. Love was gunned down in his offices at the state capitol. Some say the ghost of Love still roams the halls of the capitol building.

Old Rip Fact or Fiction?
Legend has it that a horned toad managed to live for thirty-one years while sealed in an airtight cornerstone of the old Eastland County courthouse. Did it actually happen or is the story another famous Texas tall tale?

The Five-Shot Suicide
Henry Marshall was shot five times at close range with a bolt action 22-caliber rifle. Although the subsequent investigation involved John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover, and many more, it took more than 20 years for the cause of death to be listed as homicide.
91
The Newton Boys' Lost Loot
The four Newton brothers from Texas were, perhaps, the "Keystone Cops" of depression era desperados. And somewhere near San Antonio, the brothers buried almost $20,000 in gold. It has never been found.
127
From Ford's Theater to the Granbury Opera House
Did John Wilkes Booth die in that barn after he killed Abraham Lincoln, as most people believe, or did he live and escape to Central Texas?
135
The Election That Will Not Die
In 1948, Lyndon Johnson won the most disputed election in Texas history and went on to become President. Although long thought to have been destroyed, the proof that the election was rigged may still exist.
161
The Great Stagecoach Inn Caper
The historic Stagecoach Inn at Salado, Texas has been a resting place for the famous and infamous of Texas. An irreplaceable part of Texas history was stolen from the inn and it has never been recovered.
183
The Mystery Lady of the San Bernard
A former first lady of South Carolina disappeared on a voyage to New York City. Evidence indicates she may have ended up in Texas and died in the arms of a cannibal.

The Disappearing Declarations
A total of five original, signed copies of the Texas declaration were completed. To date only one has been found. A small fortune awaits anyone who might find one of the four copies that seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
