Wesley Millett

Wesley Millett has been a researcher and writer for more than 35 years. A resident of Massachusetts, he currently owns his own consulting business that specializes in marketing research, and he frequently contributes articles to various national and international publications. A graduate of the University of Virginia, he received his initial instruction in writing from noted authors, including William Faulker. Much of his free time for years was spent roaming battlefields and in studying the Civil War. A single line in Confederate President Jefferson Davis' "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government" set him on mission that culminated in his coauthoring "The Rebel and the Rose" with Gerald White, and a half line in an obscure letter written by Davis's wife, Varina, to an old friend helped solve the mystery of the missing Confederate gold.
