On Monday, February 13th, approximately 50 people gathered at Rylander Memorial Library at 2 p.m. to meet and hear the award-winning author of fifty books, W.C. Jameson. Lynn Blankenship, President of Friends of Rylander Memorial Library, opened the meeting and Carol Littlefield introduced the speaker. W.C. was accompanied by his wife, Laurie Wagner Buyer, who has won numerous national awards for her poetry and writing. W.C.’s comments were more than fascinating as he talked about his exciting life as a Treasure Hunter, an Arkansas University Professor, newspaper columnist, songwriter, entertainer, and writing seminar instructor. The week of February 19th he will be conducting a Workshop at the Herman Brown Free Library in Burnet. The Workshops are only $20 per person and includes a copy of W.C.’s book on “How to Become a Successful Writer.” If there are people in this area who are interested in a workshop at Rylander Memorial Library, please contact Carol Littlefield or the Library.W.C.’s latest book is Treasure Hunter that was available for purchase along with seven other books by the author. To be published soon is “BUTCH CASSADY Beyond the Grave.”The subject of the gold mines in San Saba County was questioned, and W.C. answered by commenting that the mines, usually silver, were believed to be “mined out.” Indian slaves worked the mines here in this area. However, buried ingots of gold or silver could still be buried in this area. Many times miners could not transport a large amount so they would have to leave some behind and bury them. Sometimes it would be years later when they returned (or never returned) to find that nature or fire had changed the area or “no digging” on state or private property. W.C. has been invited by a property owner in this area to explore some old abandoned mines on Saturday, February 18th. His exploring ( hunts) have produced some Indian artifacts, the remains of Indian attack sites and other treasures that are mentioned (or not) in the book “Treasure Hunter.” It takes a lot of sources to write a book, for instance, for the book “BILLY THE KID Beyond the Grave,” he read 79 books about Billy the Kid; 33 articles; 13 newspaper articles; interviewed three people; computer information; transcripts; historical collections; genealogical papers, US Bureau of Census, and many trips to libraries. House hunting was also a treasure as he found a home in the Hill Country and lives in Llano. You can find him and his guitar at the Badu House every Thursday from 7 to 8 o’clock.
