(This collection brings together 43 buried treasure legend...)
This collection brings together 43 buried treasure legends from Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma — stories about fabulous mines abandoned by De Soto's soldiers; ingots carried partway across the Ozarks long ago, stashed in some moment of danger and never recovered; lodes of precious metal known only to local Indians; and thieves and murderers' plunder that still lies hidden underground. These tales share common themes, that are always rooted in colorful local details and partly verifiable facts. Again and again the reader is left with the haunting image of gold or silver deep in some Ozark cave, waiting to be exposed to the light of day.

The Pacific Northwest provides a picturesque backdrop for these stories as it stretches from the rugged coastline east over the snowy mountains and into the vast plateau that leads to Idaho. For over a century, outlaws, prospectors, Russians, Indians, loners, soldiers, and immigrants have thrown themselves into all of the adventure and intrigue money can buy.
