Product Details

Sudden wealth comes to a ne'er-do-well in a small Western town when one of his forays into the nearby mountains pays off. A mysterious old man, bearing an ancient map marked in Spanish, shows up in an Ozark town and promises to lead locals to a fabulous hidden mine. A soldier passing through western territory literally stumbles into one of the richest underground treasures in U.S history. Legends like these have long circulated in the Amwerican Southwest, and now for the first time they are collected in a single volume. Jameson gathered his materialfrom his own extensive, on-site research in Arizona, Arkansas, New mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, ad from interviews with people whose lives have been entwined with the search for particular treasures. Accounts of gold mines where nuggets are piled so deep, the can be gathered with a rake; hidden caverns where bars of silver are stacked like firewood and caches of treasure guarded only by skeletons, and other lost and buried treasures are recounted in great detail.
