Product Details

In 1864, twenty-one miners and a freighter named Adams set out from Sacaton, Arizona Territory (near present day Phoenix), in search of a rich deposit of gold. According to legend, they did find a stunning bonanza of the precious metal. While mining its unbelievably rich vein, Indians attacked. Only three managed to escape the assault. Their extraordinary discovery and harrowing escape provide the basis for one of the West's most exciting and enduring legends: The Lost Adams Mine. In "Four Days From Wingate," Richard French shares his exploration of the Lost Adams legend. Sifting through numerous versions of the story, he recreates a vivid picture of the fateful expedition. The author, his wife, and those working with them painstakingly covered much of the Southwest, weighing each shred of evidence, as they sought to unravel this bewitching mystery. "Four Days From Wingate," a rare blending of history and adventure, guides you through this ruggedly beautiful region in quest for gold.
