Treasure Haunted by Delaware's Headless Horseman

It was the opening salvo of the American Revolution. In the late hours of December 16, 1773, 150 Boston patriots, thinly disguised as Indians, boarded the British merchantman Dartmouth and threw 342 chests of tea into the frigid Boston Harbor. Years of vicious combat were to follow before the United States of America won its independence from Great Britain.
America was forged in the steel of bayonet and sword, and the Revolutionary War has therefore taken on a nearly mythological status for the nation. Legends dating back to that era abound and endure to this day, everything from the Masonic ties of the Founding Fathers to conspiracy theories, to ghosts and, yes, to long lost treasures.
