DARK SILVER: Legend of the Lost Southern Indiana Silver Mine

There’s an old legend, dating back over 200 years ago. It says that underneath the rolling hills of Southern Indiana, lies a vast silver mine, holding immense wealth. Known only to the Indians, that once lived there, silver was reportedly mined and smelted into crude silver ingots, and traded to the white man for milling their corn. So filled with silver was the mine, that Indians boasted that there was enough silver, to shoe every horse in the county, with silver horseshoes!

It sounds like an amazing campfire story, but what if it were actually true? I’ve spent over 40 years tracing the legend back to its roots, from my Great Grandmothers story, to libraries, and caves in the wilderness. What I found, was nothing short of amazing. This is both a very personal account of my adventure, but also a tale of dark deeds, greed and secrets on the Indiana frontier.

Filmed on location at Charlestown, Vincennes, Sellersburg, Henryville, New Albany, Memphis, Galena, Greenville, Mitchell, Silverville, Palmyra, Rockport, Mauckport, Leavenworth, and Shoals, Indiana. Also filmed at both Wolfe and Clay Counties in Kentucky.

UPDATES / TRIVIA
The quote used at the end of the movie, usually attributed to Maya Angelou, “life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away,” was created by someone else. There’s an interesting history behind it.

In 1989, Vicki Corona wrote a book called “Tahitian Choreographies”, about dancing. It said, “Remember that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away! Dancing can do that for you!” The phrase has been used in movies and pop culture, but Vicki seems to have the earliest use of the phrase.
