I've read a report written to the ``United States Gold Commission'' in
what appears to be 1982.  I'm sure you know all it.  It's called

  The Monetary Powers and Disabilities
              of the
    United States Constitution
  Edwin Vieira, Jr.  February, 1982.

I read the whole thing.  I printed and read it.  I do not recall if
Jekyll Island came up, but the history of the Federal Reserve seems well
described there.

This is the best ``book'' I've ever read on the subject.  It's quite
readable and I'm definitely not from such field.

It's online actually.
