* The legend of the gold coin has previously stated that the twenty-dollar gold piece was given to Dixon by his sweetheart, Queenie Bennett. However, historians have begun to question that part of the story. The reasons include the fact that Queenie was only fourteen years old at the start of the Civil War, when Dixon would have needed to leave with the coin in the pocket, and that her family was of modest means. Twenty dollars at that time was equivalent to hundreds of dollars in modern currency. In addition, no written documentation has ever been found confirming that Dixon knew Queenie or the Bennetts.
