Is a boat-load of gold buried somewhere along the Missouri River?

It began as a journey home, rich with promise and heavy with gold. In the summer of 1863, a boat full of miners drifted down the Missouri River, their fortunes stashed beneath deck planks — and their fate sealed by a single gunshot. What followed near present-day Mandan was chaos, bloodshed, and loss on both sides — and a mystery that endures. More than 160 years later, stories still swirl of treasure buried somewhere beneath the river’s shifting sands. Jeremy Fugleberg with Grand Forks Herald has the full story that’s sure to set your mind wondering.
