Lost Treasure Trails


Book Description

Pirates burying treasure along the coasts, outlaw gangs hiding their ill-gotten gains, gold mines lost and forgotten . . . there are plenty of stories all across the United States of treasure waiting to be discovered. Penfield's survey of treasure tales is a well-loved classic that will intrigue and amuse, and perhaps spark an interest in the hobby of treasure hunting. There is plenty of material here for the amateur historian or beginning treasure hunter to start with. (Just remember to check your Federal, state, or local laws before you go searching.) This book was published in 1954, but remains a fascinating introduction to this subject.




The Lone Star Hiking Trail


Book Description

One of the hidden jewels of Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail is the only long-distance National Recreation Trail in the state. At 128 miles (including loop trails), it is also the state's longest continuously marked and maintained footpath. Located in the famed Big Thicket area in east Texas, the trail is well-suited for both short and long hikes (of up to 10 days), appealing to dayhikers, overnight backpackers and long-distance hikers. The LSHT lies between the major metro centers of Houston-Galveston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio--home to more than 8 million people just a 2-hour drive from the trail. The author, a Texas native, is an experienced long-distance hiker who has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and many other nationally recognized long-distance trails throughout the U.S. This is the first guidebook to the trail and is officially endorsed and promoted by the Lone Star Hiking Trail Club.

Old Spanish Trail Treasure


Book Description

As he approached their mining camp, Bob knew something was wrong. He smelled death in the tunnel. While nineteen-year-old Bob Brant is away hunting, his mine is attacked and he returns to discover the mine in ruins and two dead bodies-one of which is his own father. So begins Bob's quest to hunt down the men responsible. He straps on his holster, grabs his Colt .45, and tracks them from Death Valley southwest into the Mojave Desert, where he finds more devastation-the bodies of his partners murdered in cold blood. As Bob becomes even more eager to complete his pursuit of revenge, his story arouses the interest of the public, dime novelists, and law enforcement officers. Over the next ten months those most interested keep track of Bob as he deals out his personal brand of Death Valley justice. Assisting Bob is a beautiful young Pinkerton detective, JJ Majors. If you love a suspenseful Western, gunfights, and justice, pull on your boots and join Robert C. Nuzum in 1887 on the Old Spanish Trail Treasure!
