Interesting Newspaper Articles About f...

Alright, against my better judgement, with everyone doing such a great job on their TTOTC YouTube videos, the blogs, and setting up chat sites, here's how I will pay it forward to y'all...

If you go to Newspapers.com, they used to (not sure if they still do, so you will have to check on your own) allow you to try their site out for free for two weeks. If you search "Forrest Fenn" from 1930 to 2009 exactly like that in the search box, it will return all of the newspaper articles about him that have been digitally transferred over the years prior to the chase for you to download. Here are the specific ones I have found and downloaded a few years back, but I'm sure there are more now (hopefully, none of which take you to my spot):

Not sure there is anything there that will help you with finding the chest, but DEFINITELY INTERESTING, and teaches you about the man over the years, IMO.

Thanks for sharing MM! Excellent research. One of the best ways to understand the poem, is to understand the man. You offer a great tool.

Love your name- is your name related to the chase? Minotaur/ Theseus/ big ball of thread?
