West Lost Legends and Treasures

Presented together for the first time, Lost Legends of the West and Lost Treasures of the West is a compelling collection of both the myths and lost treasures of the American West. In Lost Legends of the West, the authors examine both the fact and fiction surrounding many little-known stories, characters, and legends of the Wild West. Most tales evolve around something lost, and the stories behind California's lost Cherokee diamond mine, the lost site of the Calaveras skull, and the mystery of the Port Orford meteorite are but a few phenomena discussed. And in Lost Treasures of the West, the authors explore legendary treasures involving eccentric characters, wild adventure -- and real clues. The West: Legends and Treasures exemplifies the mystery, danger, and excitement that keeps the Old West alive in the imaginations of people everywhere.Williams, Brad is the author of 'West Lost Legends and Treasures', published 2003 under ISBN 9780883941027 and ISBN 0883941023.
