Going through some old posts on MW..... mysteriouswritings.com/subtle-clues-in-forrest-fenns-the-thrill-of-the-chase/
Clip from the post.....
For instance, maybe I can toss out the following thought I had once too. In the chapter entitled, My War for Me, page 76, Forrest writes, ‘a curiosity to wonder about, like the Lincoln Memorial.’ Well, this caused me to be curious about the Lincoln Memorial. In doing research, I found it interesting the exterior marble used for the Lincoln Memorial comes from the Yule marble quarry in Marble, Colorado. Another fascinating tidbit is that the marble for the Unknown Soldier Tomb also comes from there. It’s a special marble.
With Forrest telling the story about the ‘graves of the unknown soldiers’(French Soldiers) in the My War for Me chapter as well, I liked the thought that this might be a ‘subtle clue’ towards Marble, Colorado. Additional support, like the fact he played ‘marble’s’ is written in the book, the poem line ‘heavy loads’ could refer to quarried marble, and his humorous scrapbook on ‘shower marble’, made me like it a little more.
But is the line about the Lincoln Memorial actually one of the subtle clues for finding the treasure and hint to Marble, Colorado?
I'm not a Colorado searcher...but I like those connections.... How do we know what is a subtle clue or not.....? They are to help with the clues....well this 'could' if you liked Colorado....
