Product Details

The search for Lost Mines and hidden Treasures has ever intrigued mankind and for ages has worn the glamour of legend and romantic mystery. All over the West and Great Southwest, rich mineral deposits found by emigrants and prospectors could not be worked time of discovery and in this way they became lost. Ancient and valuable collections of gold and silver remained buried with the wiping out of the Aztec civilization and later with the passing of the Spanish Conquistadors and the decay and destruction of the early Spanish missions. Western lore is replete with such incidents, some of which have, no doubt, grown in magnitude of wealth as time elapsed as most traditions do in the extended retrospective until history becomes distorted. The authenticity of the stories recounted in this book are proven by history. The fact that many of the mines and treasures referred to have not yet been located, has not prevented the author from giving important details as to their value and location.
