Lost Treasure of Grassy Cove

By Hubert Crowell

Clair pried on the lid of the box that had rusted shut. Her black hair hung over her eyes as she concentrated on her prize.
Her mother stepped on the porch, “What are you doing to our rock doorstop?”
“It’s not a rock it’s a box!”
“My goodness, I plowed that thing up over in Grassy Cove. When we lived next to the old School House.”
After years of being shoved around by the door, hints of metal on the corner begin to be visible under the dirt and rust.
“I noticed the shiny corner and decided to chip off the rust,” said Clair.
Her mother noticed the sparkle in Clair’s brown eyes as she worked on the box. She had seen it many times before.
Clair knew all the stories about the cove. The union soldiers massacred near the one-room schoolhouse, rumors about what they were doing there, and what they may have been transporting. There was also the report of human skeletons found in McFalls Cave.
How they were chased over the mountain into Grassy Cove, and three days later killed in a battle at the school. Could this box have something to do with them?
