Description

Buried vaults stacked with gold bars, secret caches of coins and jewels plundered from the Spaniards and the Church, exposed veins of ore with nuggets the scale of turkey eggs. Guarded by the bones of dead men, the legendary treasures of the Southwest still stay up for the ones foolhardy or desperate enough to are looking for them.

Death is the cure for gold fever, and the lucky few who saw the riches and lived to inform of them spent the remainder of their lives searching, haunted by faulty memories, changed landscapes, and quirks of fate. It’s the stories of these men and the wealth they pursued that J. Frank Dobie tells in Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver.

On this masterful number of tales, Dobie introduces us to Pedro Loco, General Mexhuira’s ghost, the German, and a colorful group of oddfellows driven to roam the hills in an eternal quest for the hidden entrance, the blazed tree, the box canyon, for fabulous wealth glimpsed, lost, and never forgotten.

Are treasures truly there? Searchers still are looking for them. But for the reader, the treasure is here–Dobie’s tales are pure gold.
