CAPTAIN KIDD VISITS GARDINER'S ISLAND
On June 25, 1699, in the presence of John Gardiner, Capt. William Kidd buried a treasure, including gold and jewels, on Gardiner's Island. Captain Kidd reportedly said to Gardiner, "If I call for it and it is gone, I will have your head or your son's." David Gardiner was just 8 years old.
