Jesse James’ Treasure
Legend has it that Jesse James and his crew of outlaws buried over $1 million of treasure somewhere in the Wichita Mountains. Today, that amount would equate to roughly $26 million, give or take, though due to their ties with the notorious Jesse James, it could fetch much more at an auction.
Hundreds of books have been written and published about Jesse’s exploits, and they all end in pretty much the same words: he left his treasure in Wichita. The most notorious criminal of Missouri has become a legend in his own right, and you can, too, if you uncover his hidden stash.
