A Blacksmithing Classic! Now back in print. Left - slip cover of current Castle reprint of the revised edition; click the image to open image of the slip cover of original 1969 edition (fascinating memorabilia!). This book marked the beginning of the modern era in blacksmithing. Its publication came at a time when the small blacksmith's shop had nearly ceased to exist in North America. At the time there were no references about blacksmithing in print and the many old references that are now commonly available in reprint today had long been out of print. It also came at the peak of the crafts movement inspiring hundreds of "hippy" craftsfolk to take up the hammer. Today those hippy craftsfolk are the established "old guard" of blacksmithing. They will ALL tell you that "The Art" was important in their blacksmithing education... Bealer wrote THE landmark reference of blacksmithing. There is even a chapter on making weapons, which discusses mail, swords, and halberds (as well as flintlocks). Lots of black & white sketches make the explanations easier to understand. 438 pages, 500+ illustrations. ART OF DOWSING By Richard Webster.

Glenn Carson - Pre- Publication Offer) Most of us would like for hunting for - and recovering - treasure to be easy. We at least think that we would like it to be so. It is not easy. We do not, the night before, read a fascinating story about a huge chest of treasure not very far from the front door, get up and have a leisurely breakfast the following morning, and head right to the spot the story mentions. If it were that easy, we would immediately recognize the clues mentioned in the story, make two or three swipes with the detector loop, and get an immense signal. Within a few minutes we'd have the chest dug up, the coins secured in the vehicle only a few yards away, and be home in time for supper. Bonanzas do exist. Some contain a great amount of wealth. Your chance of finding such a bonanza easily, is astronomically slim. Buy a lottery ticket on a regular basis, for your chance of winning the big lottery payoff is far greater than recovering a bonanza with little or no effort.

BUCKSKIN -- JOE A MEMOIR HUNTER-TRAPPER, SCOUT, SOLDIER, SHOWMAN, FRONTIERSMAN, AND FRIEND OF THE INDIAN By Edward Jonathan Hoyt, Edited by Glenn Shirley. In his lifetime Edward Jonathan Hoyt, better known as Buckskin Joe, staged more excitement than Buffalo Bill, Fairbanks and Flynn, Karl Wallenda, and Batman put together. Born in Canada in 1840, he fought in the Civil War, homesteaded in southern Kansas, chased outlaws as a U.S. marshal in the Cherokee Outlet, prospected for gold from Nova Scotia to Central America, and served as a troubleshooter for "Haw" Tabor, the Silver King of Leadville. But essentially he was an entertainer, specializing in fêtes of music and feats of strength and agility. The master of sixteen musical instruments, he played in frontier bands. An acrobat and aerialist, he toured in circuses, once walking a tightrope two thousand feet above the Royal Gorge. His last hurrah, before pursuing his fortune in the jungles of Honduras, was a tour in Pawnee Bill's Wild West show. Glenn Shirley has written many works on frontier and outlaw history. 194 pages.

But the trails were still treacherous, as evidenced by the doomed Donner Party in 1846. This is a fascinating picture of the West - you will experience a trip along the California Trail, from Independence, MO to Sacramento ... via Fort Laramie, Wyoming's South Pass, Nevada's Humboldt River, and Donner Pass.

This has 191 pages, and 4 very good maps. Since the beginning of recorded history, tales of lost mines and buried and sunken treasures have held an incredible fascination and appeal for many people. Reading about or searching for a lost mine or treasure excites men and women, young and old. The great state of Colorado is considered by many to be the Holy Grail of lost mines and buried treasures for the United States. It has been argued that more lost gold and silver mines, caches of outlaw loot, and long-hidden hoards of Spanish and French treasures exist in Colorado than any other state. The incredible number of tantalizing folktales, legends, and stories of lost and buried wealth that have come out of that state certainly support that claim. Jameson presents 27 intriguing, mysterious and compelling stories of lost gold and silver mines, hidden strongboxes, missing army payrolls, and Spanish loot. In many ways the tales themselves are like the treasure they describe. Culturally speaking, they represent a portion of the wealth of the people of Colorado - lore and legends handed down through the generations. They are an important part of the cultural fabric of the state. COMANCHES, THE By Ernest Wallace. These Indians were often the terror of the Whites and other Plains tribes.

Written in 1930, Coronado's Children was one of J. Frank Dobie's first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado. "These people," Dobie writes in his introduction, "no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado's inheritors... l have called them Coronado's children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load... " The author claims, "After I hear a tale I do all I can to improve it," and this is an understatement. Readers who possess a sense of wonder will enjoy this book. History often cloaks personages with dusty trappings, stuffy sayings, and mixed motives so time has faded the awe that Drake, Cortez, Raleigh, and Coronado experienced. Dobie illuminates the wonder of the children of Coronado as they chase their dreams and draws us into their world of enchantment. Texas has its share of legendary treasure, and Dobie records the lore of the lost mines of the San Saba and Llano rivers, rumors of an untapped vein of wonderfully rich gold west of Paisano Pass in Devil's River country, tales of forgotten posthole stashes where prosperous frontier ranchers once "banked" their gold and silver coins, and more. Unlike Coronado, the author seeks the treasure that emanates from the heart and mind. This is a fine book written seven decades ago and improves with each reading. This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses. 351 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON DAYS A JOURNEY ACROSS THE PLAINS IN THE 1860'S AND PIONEER DAYS IN THE NORTHWEST By A J Dickson. 285 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 1 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1840 - 1849 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Anne M. Butler (Introduction). This is Volume One, published in 1995, of the diaries and letters from the Western Trails. A true look into the mind of the women pioneers. Exceptional reading! It is fascinating to peer into the daily life of these woman and imagine how they could have survived such trials, where they found strength to leave husbands and children who had died ... to have to bury them out alone in the wilderness. This book gives a glimpse into these brave women's lives, and the hardships they endured. 280 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 10 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1875 - 1883 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Elliott West (Introduction); David Duniway (Editor). Forty years after the legendary overland travels of Oregon pioneers in the 1840s, Lucy Clark Allen wrote, "the excitement continues." Economic hard times in Minnesota sent Allen and her husband to Montana in hopes of evading the droughts, grasshoppers, and failed crops that had plagued their farm. Allen and her compatriots, in this volume of Covered Wagon Women, experience a much different journey than their predecessors. Many settlements now await those bound for the West, with amenities such as hotels and restaurants, as well as grain suppliers to provide feed for the horses and mules that had replaced the slower oxen in pulling wagons. Routes were clearly marked - some had been replaced entirely by railroad tracks. Nevertheless, many of the same dangers, fears, and aspirations confronted these dauntless women who traveled the overland trails. 277 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 2 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1850, THE DIARY OF MARGARET A. FRINK By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Lillian Schlissel (Introduction). The second in the series is as riveting as the first. The immigrants now have more knowledge, since many have gone before them. There are still many mishaps, disease, lack of water and feed. There are opportunists who prey on the civilized "innocence" of the travelers. Mrs. Frink keeps a detailed diary of the daily distances traveled, price of provisions, the weather, the many people they meet up with, and an acute observation of the fashions on the trail! The reader will gain a whole new appreciation of the Old West! Kenneth L. Holmes is emeritus professor of history at Western Oregon State College. Lillian Schlissel is the author of Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey. She is a professor of English and director of the American Studies program at Brooklyn College. 302 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 3 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1851 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Susan Armitage (Introduction). Holmes made the very wise editorial decision not to update, revise, or parenthetically correct the quirky and often fascinating prose of these nineteenth-century women ... The writing is rich with the sounds of common speech and jargon. The personal diaries of women crossing America in covered wagons told of the ingenuity, courage, bravery, loneliness, fear, boredom, excitement, and danger they encountered. These books are intensely personal, but with an unsurpassed background of authority. 291 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 4 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1852, THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL. Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Glenda Riley (Introduction). The entries from these pioneer women are alternately rich with optimism, stark with tragedy, and always laced with mind- numbing details of the westward movement. In 1852 a record number of women helped keep the wagons rolling over the perilous western trails. The fourth volume of Covered Wagon Women is devoted to families headed for California that year. Holmes was a professor of history at Western Oregon State College. He edited and compiled these volumes drawing on archives and private sources. Glenda Riley is a professor of history at Ball State University. Her numerous works on women in the American West include Building and Breaking Families in the American West. 303 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 5 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS -1852, THE CALIFORNIA TRAIL By Kenneth L. Holmes; With David C. Duniway. Abigail Jane Scott was seventeen when she left Illinois with her family in the spring of 1852. Her record of the journey west is full of expressive detail: breakfasting in a snowstorm, walking behind the wagons to keep warm, tasting buffalo meat, trying to climb Independence Rock. She meets her future husband, Benjamin Duniway, at the end of the Oregon Trail and, in the years to come, finds fame as a writer and a leader of the suffrage movement in the Northwest. Her grandson, David Duniway, edited her trail diary for Covered Wagon Women. This volume includes the equally vivid diaries of other women who rode the wagons in 1852. 314 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 6 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1853 - 1854 Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); Ursula Smith (Introduction). An outstanding collection of primary sources written by women moving west. The diaries and letters throb with excitement, pain, and mind-boggling determination. "We traveled this forenoon over the roughest and most desolate piece of ground that was ever made," wrote Amelia Knight during her 1853 wagon train journey to Oregon. The reader is enveloped in the feelings of sensitive people bound together in a stressful undertaking. 292 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 7 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1854 - 1860 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Compiler); David Duniway (Editor); E. S. Haldane (Translator). These women form a part of the diversity of the West without which our vision is necessarily incomplete. Some of the women traveling west in the late 1850s were strong advocates of equal rights for their sex. On the trail, Julia Archibald Holmes and Hannah Keziah Clapp sensibly wore the "freedom costume" called bloomers. In 1858 Holmes joined the Pikes Peak gold rush and was the first woman of record to climb the famous mountain. Educator Hannah Clapp traveled to California with a revolver by her side, speaking her mind in a letter included in this volume, which is also enriched by the trail diaries of seven other women. 300 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 8 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1862 - 1865 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); David Duniway (Editor); Maria Montoya (Introduction). This is a work to capture the heart, as well as the historical mind. The overland trails in the 1860s witnessed the creation of stage stations, which eased the travels. Tragically, this coincided with renewed conflicts with the Cheyenne and other Plains Indians. Amid this turmoil, these daring women continued to build on the example set by earlier women pioneers. One woman, arriving in California, wrote, "When we think of the earliest pioneers ... we feel an untold gratitude towards them." 280 pages. Paper. COVERED WAGON WOMEN, VOL 9 DIARIES AND LETTERS FROM THE WESTERN TRAILS - 1864 - 1868 By Kenneth L. Holmes (Editor); David Duniway (Editor); Frances H. Simson (Editor). In their simplicity is their poignancy. One woman observed that one of the men in the overland expedition had "buried an infant here yesterday-still born." One can only imagine her emotional turmoil-she had buried her own daughter three months earlier, just as she and her husband set out for Oregon. While each diarist and letter-writer had her personal joys and sorrows ... one can only marvel at their ability to persevere under conditions that sent many scurrying back home to the East. 258 pages.

A page-turner! You won't be able to put this one down! 286 pages. Paper. CROW INDIANS, THE By Robert Lowie.

CUSTER VICTORIOUS THE CIVIL WAR BATTLES OF GENERAL GEORGE CUSTER By Gregory J. W. Urwin. 309 pages. Paper. CUSTER, BLACK KETTLE, AND THE FIGHT ON WASHITA By Charles J. Brill, Mark L. Gardner. From the Publisher:" Using Cheyenne and Arapaho accounts, Charles J. Brill tells the story of General George Armstrong Custer's winter campaign on the southern plains in 1868-69, including his attack on Black Kettle's village on the snowy banks of the Washita River. Brill's searing account details the ruthlessness of the U.S. Army's efforts to punish southern plains tribes for what they considered incessant raiding and depredation. Brill provides the Indian point of view as he follows Custer into a battle that remains controversial to the present day." In a new foreword to this edition, Mark L. Gardner discusses the significance of Brill's history - placing it in context with other Custer and Indian Wars studies - and its value to scholars and general readers today. Gardner also provides an overview of the career of Oklahoma journalist Charles J. Brill, much of whose life has remained a mystery until now. 323 pages. University of Oklahoma Press.

Paper. Limited numbers, scarce book. CUSTER'S GOLD THE UNITED STATES CAVALRY EXPEDITION OF 1874By Donald Jackson. Custer was sent to explore rumors of gold in the Dakota Territory. With the discovery, the treaty with the Sioux Indians vanished. Written from Government documents and archives. 151 pages. Paper. DANGEROUS DAN TUCKER, NEW MEXICO'S DEADLY LAWMAN By Bob Alexander, Leon C. Metz (Introduction). Tucker was a better lawman, and more dangerous, than such redoubtable characters as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickock... Deputy Sheriff, Town Marshall, Deputy U.S. Marshall, Train Agent, Livestock Inspector, Dan Tucker was the quintessential lawman during the violent frontier period of southwest New Mexico. By his own deadpan account, he was "obliged to kill eight men" in Grant County alone -- not counting four other outlaws he personally dropped from the scaffold. Disinclined by nature to back down from anyone, Tucker was involved in some one dozen shooting scrapes, was shot four times, and he arrested Russian Bill and Sandy King. Yet "Dangerous Dan Tucker" is more than a gunman's story. Tucker's nervy confrontations with criminals, with the quirky, everyday details of an underpaid lawman living on the edge, are skillfully woven in. Extensively researched and documented, Alexander presents a significant Western character who, before now, was lost to history. His Dan Tucker is no Hollywood hero, but he is extremely competent and supremely dangerous -- if you're an outlaw. Paperback, 200 pages. DANIEL BOONE -- MASTER OF THE WILDERNESS By John Bakeless.

Smith (Editor), Guy V. Henry (Preface). Excellent insight of military life in the Old West.

Rohrbough treats Gold Rush California as the multiethnic and multiracial society that it was. . . . At the heart of Rohrbough's wonderful book is [the] tension between a way of life that seems a modern libertarian's fantasy . . . and the commitments that the miners had made to a family and a community that they left behind.

In pre- Tertiary time there was very little forceful water movement to concentrate gold placer. What water movement did occur scattered the gold placer across the topography, into pre- glaciered gully formations, ancient stream beds and ganged into basins... " Paperback - 141 pages.

Vivid information, accurate geological description of topography where gold placer has been caught in riffles, basins and crevices of hundreds of brooks, creeks and water-runs.

Wherever there are caves, there are tales of buried treasure, and there are many caves in Arkansas. Early settlers, having no other means of safeguarding their wealth, placed it in the ground and often never recovered it. Louisiana treasure stories date from the days of French and Spanish explorers through the era of gulf pirates to the years of Yankee depredations. The burial of family possessions during the Civil War was commonplace. Southerners knew that Yankee soldiers were under orders to seize everything of value to the Confederate cause. Hundreds of plantation families hid their wealth. Treasure hunting in Mississippi has been going on for more than 400 years. No one area has produced more treasure stories than the Natchez Trace ... a wagon road following old Indian trails. A stream of settlers traveled 300 miles of wilderness, in search of the new Eldorado. All who traversed it carried with them much or all of their fortune. It became a dark and bloody trail.

Devoted to the exploits of sea- going marauders as renowned for their excellent navigational skills as they were for ravaging ships and terrorizing Caribbean settlements, the book covers a period of more than 60 years -- from about 1630 to 1697.

INDIAN REMOVAL THE EMIGRATION OF THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES OF INDIANS By Grant Foreman, Angie Debo (Designer). The forced removals to Indian Territory in the 1830s. U. of Oklahoma: "It is unlikely that any single book or document will ever earn a more firmly-fixed position of respect and authority than this distinguished volume by Grant Foreman. Originally published in 1932, on the date of the hundredth anniversary of the arrival in Oklahoma of the first Indians as a result of the United States government's relocation of the Five Civilized Tribes, Indian Removal remains today the definitive book in its field." 423 pages, illustrated, biblio. INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE, THE By W.P. Clark. Originally written in 1884 for use by the U.S. Army, this is far more than a grammar book or curiosity. Written for future officers in Indian regions, this book tried to correct the sentimental and cultural stereotypes of Indians that led to much misunderstanding. 443 pages. Paper. INDIAN TRAIL TREES By Elaine Jordan. Fascinating book, a fresh, inviting overview of the Cherokee Nation and their use of trees as markers, and yes! as treasure markers. Many years ago, native americans bent oak saplings along trails to mark the way to important meeting places. The earliest trail trees were positioned to be seen at eye level by those who were traveling on foot. As horses were introduced, the height at which these trees were bent changed to eye level for someone on horseback. These trail trees are almost a lost part of history, but some of them do still exist today. Many of these trail trees are found in the southeastern United States, which was once the Cherokee Nation. For instance, many are still found in Murray and Whitfield Counties in northern Georgia, pointing toward Ellijay, Georgia. The trees can be recognized by their severely bent trunks or limbs. The trees were used to indicate different things. The point of the bent limb is usually marked by a "nose" (a prominent bump made by cutting the bark and packing it with moss or charred bark). Some might show the trail to a river or a settlement. Some were used to indicate where natural springs were located. Sometimes they were used as message trees and were either marked to indicate a message or had a hollowed out section where messages could be hidden. Some of the trees point to a creek or cave, or even to buried treasure (though these treasure troves are usually found empty today). 96 pages. INTERPRETATIONS OF TREASURE SIGNS AND SYMBOLS By Stewart. This book provides an excellent reference that may easily be carried along on treasure hunting trips. A nice little sign book that fills the gap, since many of the earlier types of this kind of book are now out of print. Lots of signs are illustrated with a printed description of them. There is also a section on how to actually decipher a Spanish waybill. The task of interpreting Spanish markings related to treasure is made easy by the presentation and description of various important symbols displayed throughout the text. With this book in hand, you can avoid the tedious and time-nibbling chore of repeating research. Get it right the first time... A must for any serious treasure hunter and researcher. 44 pages.

Paper. JIM BRIDGER, MOUNTAIN MAN By Stanley Vestal. One of the great explorers and pathfinders in American history. 333 pages. Paper. JOURNAL OF A MOUNTAIN MAN By James Clyman; Linda M. Hasselstrom (Editor). Mountain men are not noted for telling a story small. Yarning was an art among the trappers, and scaring pilgrims was one of their favorite sports. In short, we cannot rely on the details of mountain men like Joe Meek, even if the stories are great. So the journals of James Clyman, mountain man, are especially valuable. His journals are conspicuously sober and detailed records of a keen, precise observer. The events Clyman recorded were momentous. He was present during the heyday of the American fur trade and emigration to Oregon and California. He helped open the West to beaver hunters. Maps. 295 pages. Paper.

KIT CARSON -- A PORTRAIT IN COURAGE By N. Morgan Estergreen and Kit Carson. Kit grew up on the frontier as it moved westward. Modest and soft spoken, a quiet man with fierce courage. 320 pages. Paper. KIT CARSON'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY By Kit Carson, Milo Milton Quaife (Editor). Straightforward autobiography. Kit Carson was a man of few words in life and in his own autobiography. It is unfortunate that such a dynamic individual didn't write more! Quaife does an excellent job with the notes, detailing everything that Carson failed to include. This book covers Carson's life through 1856, so it doesn't encompass the highlights of his later career as an army officer, conqueror of the Navajo Nation, Indian agent, etc. Kit Carson was a true frontier icon imbued with mythical qualities and this autobiography supports the myth. 192 pages. Paper. KOVEL'S ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES PRICE LIST 1999 By Kovel. 878 pages. Paper. KOVEL'S BOTTLE PRICE LIST -- 9TH EDITION By Kovel.

BEING A TABLE OF DISTANCES SHOWING ALL THE SPRINGS, CREEKS, HILLS, MOUNTAINS, CAMPING PLACES, AND ALL OTHER NOTABLE PLACES FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS TO THE VALLEY OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE By W. Clayton. Gregory M. Franzwa (Editor); Stanley B. Kimball (Editor). One hundred and fifty-one years ago Mormon pioneers left Winter Quarters in present-day Omaha for the Great Salt Lake Valley. A new convert, William Clayton, wrote a guidebook for the Saints that became one of the most popular. It is reproduced in facsimile with amplification by Kimball. As a member of the original Mormon Pioneer Company, he traveled overland in 1847 to be part of founding of Salt Lake City. He published his guidebook in 1848.

This book takes you down the shafts for a glimpse of a whole different world.

MUREL (MURRELL) THE GREAT WESTERN LAND PIRATE By Augustus Q. Walton. This is an account of the events which led to the imprisonment of John A. Murel (Murrell) of Tennessee. The legend is that he came to Louisiana and operated in the "Neutral Zone" primarily around the southern part of Natchitoches Parish. He was the dean of outlaws in the South. John West and Dan Kimbrell (of the West and Kimbrell Clan) and others supposedly received their training under him. He was called "Reverend Devil" because of his proficiency in using his ability to preach in the service of banditry. The author listed many of the members of the early Murrell Clan (including some from Louisiana) and detailed Murrell's plan to create a major slave uprising out of which he hoped to become wealthy through plunder and terror.

LONE WOLF GONZAULLAS, TEXAS RANGER By Brownson (Captain M. T. Lone Wolf Gonzaullas) Malsch; Harold J., Jr. Weiss (Introduction); Mary Nell Garrison. Author and historian Brownson Malsch captures with his customary skill the greatness of modern-day Texas Ranger Captain M.T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas in this small but powerful biography. From the Lone Wolf's baptism of fire along the Rio Grande in the 1920s to the oil boom days in east Texas, Malsch recounts the engaging story of one of the most renowned and most colorful men to have ever worn the star of the Texas Rangers. The book is well indexed and could easily serve as a source of research data for those interested in the history of the Texas Rangers.

They spent winters in the tropics pillaging and came north to rob in the summer months. Most of their treasures were buried here, closer to their homes, yet little has been uncovered. This book tells about the most notorious pirates that frequented the New England coast, including Kidd and Blackbeard, and describes treasure thus far found, mostly on the outer islands, and where unfound treasure might be uncovered.

This pioneering work is about the traders, trappers, and explorers in the vast area that would become Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas, and Colorado. From the Chronicles of Oklahoma, Volume 4/No. 2, June 1926 - A Book Review, page 210: "Grant Foreman of Muskogee has made a most interesting and excellent contribution to the literature of this part of the country, in his recently published book, Pioneer Days in the Southwest... Besides adhering to the authentic records, and giving us important facts and figures, the author has contrived to make his book breathe the romance of the western plain and throughout its pages there runs the sweet fragrance of prairie flowers, and the surge of the south wind... Early explorations in Louisiana, the establishment of Fort Smith, Ark., the pathetic recital of the first tentative efforts made by ardent missionaries of the East who dreamed of converting the Red Man to the White Man's religion, and followed their destinies to the hard lives and lonely deaths in the wilderness, are graphically told in the first part of Mr. Foreman's book... Mr. Foreman not only brings out all the important facts connected with the birth and settlement of the country which includes what is now Colorado, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas, but he also quotes some quaint and charming old letters and diaries which transport us in fancy back to the time when this country was in the making." (Written by Mrs. Walter Ferguson, 1926.)Enough said? If not, this review completes with this: "There is no romance lovelier than that of the Southwest and Mr. Foreman has captured this elusive thing and imprisoned it within the pages of his excellent book." Nothing we could add in our modern time could express this more beautifully. This book is a true-life look at the players on the great stage. There are some books that you MUST own...

In 1898, as the Spanish-American War was escalating, Theodore Roosevelt assembled an improbable regiment of Ivy Leaguers, cowboys, Native Americans, African-Americans, and Western Territory land speculators. This group of men, which became known as the Rough Riders, trained for four weeks in the Texas desert and then set sail for Cuba. Over the course of the summer, Roosevelt's Rough Riders fought valiantly, and sometimes recklessly, in the Cuban foothills, incurring casualties at a far greater rate than the Spanish. Roosevelt kept a detailed diary from the time he left Washington until his triumphant return from Cuba later that year. The Rough Riders was published to instant acclaim in 1899. Teddy's account included the perils endured and the horseback charge up Kettle Hill. 316 pages. Illustrated, photos, maps.

SHALLOW WATER TREASURE HUNTING MANUAL By Granville. Spiral bound 68 pages; 8 x 11. SHIP OF GOLD IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA By Gary Kinder. The riveting true adventure and discovery of a gold-laden shipwreck and the scientific genius who recovered its treasure, while breaking the barriers of deep-ocean exploration. In September 1857, the S.S. Central America, carrying 500 passengers and tons of gold from the California mountains, sunk in a hurricane 200 miles off the Carolina coast. Lost in legend for more than a century, the tragic story of this shipwrecked steamer resurfaced in 1989 when Tommy Thompson, an ocean engineer, sailed into Norfolk harbour with over ten tons of pioneer gold. Using a combination of oceanography, computer science and information theory, Thompson's team recovered mint-state coins, antique bars, and sparkling gold dust from 8,000 feet below the surface of the sea - proving everyone wrong, who had said it couldn't be done. Ship of Gold was written over a ten-year period by Gary Kinder. We here at WaybillToAdventure.com are so convinced of the importance of this technological treasure feat that we are stating: This book must be added to the MUST READ list of any aspiring seeker of bonanzas. From the California gold strikes, to the legal victories in court over those who wished to take away the recovered gold... this level of high intrigue and Thompson's triumph make this book required reading for anyone who has hopes of successful treasure recovery. The 507-page book is almost impossible to put down. Kinder has done an outstanding job of weaving a white-knuckle sea disaster with a modern tale of entrepreneurism into a darned excellent book!

A small band of Sioux captured her and her children and held them hostage for a month and a half, during which time Wakefield, an observant chronicler, noted the ways of her captors and explained their good reasons for having risen in revolt: "Suppose the same number of whites were living in sight of food, purchased with their own money, and their children dying of starvation, how long do you think they would remain quiet?"

This new edition contains an introductory essay by Andrew Gulliford, Middle Tennessee State University, and an added portfolio of rare photographs from the Mexican Revolution. Louis R. Sadler of New Mexico State University, co-author of The Border and The Revolution, said: "News that Larry Harris' book is being reprinted is welcome indeed. His study, first published forty years ago, is clearly one of the first serious monographs on the Columbus Raid. Furthermore, Harris is absolutely right about Villa being present at Columbus during the raid, a question which strangely continues to attract conspiracy theorists." 125 pages.

THE REVIEW, BY H. GLENN CARSON - SHIP OF GOLD IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA Once in a while, something comes along in our everyday, hum-drum lives interesting and important enough to knock us right out of our ruts. That happened to this author a few days ago. I finally got my hands on a book that was printed in 1998 by Atlantic Monthly Press. The book slipped unnoticed beneath my radar screens for almost five years, and I can't tell you how that happened. I like to keep up with things in the treasure field but this one frankly escaped my notice. So I am doing something I seldom, if ever, do: I'm telling my treasure-hunting friends about an excellent book. Yes, I am writing a book report-it makes me feel like a seventh grader handing in my past-due scribbles to a prim and proper English teacher... This story is nothing less than phenomenal - a magnificent journey of invention, dedication, and inspiration. Rich history, modern invention, rivalry, court shenanigans, secrecy, drive… and a LOT of gold. Highly recommended to all, but ESPECIALLY LOVERS OF TRUE ADVENTURE. DOWNLOAD THIS REVIEW IN PDF FORMAT.

It includes old photographs, new stories and reminiscences passed on to her from readers of the first book. Interesting book. B/W photos & illustrations. 337 pages. Softcover. Complete your set, today! TOMBSTONE ARIZONA PHOTO ALBUM By Bill Roman. 24 pages; 8 x 11. Paper. TOMMY THOMPSON'S - AMERICA'S LOST TREASURE By Tommy Thompson. Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea nudged more than one evening's reading into the dark morning hours. Tommy Thompson's America's Lost Treasure takes things one giant leap even further down the road to what could be considered THE Treasure Tale of the 20th Century. This book is a fantastic history lesson, two exciting and intertwined adventure stories, and a picture text on how to do new and wonderful things. It is a coffee-table companion to Gary Kinder's Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea, and neither book is really complete without the other. The awesome pictures in America's Lost Treasure are exactly what the numismatic world has been clamoring for since the discovery and beginning of the salvage of the SS Central America first hit the news in 1988. The lavish use of 19th century pictures, drawings, and accounts of the sailing and sinking of the SS Central America add to the careful archaeological records of the search and salvage of her wreck. But far the most impressive thing in this book are the stunning pictures of the tons of gold coins and bars both scattered on the deep ocean floor and arranged for display after recovery. For an entertaining and educational read and two great adventure stories - one in 1857 and one in the 1980s - I highly recommend both America's Lost Treasure by Tommy Thompson and Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder.

Roosevelt's administration. Brought into being on May 6, 1935, as an independent agency funded directly by Congress, the Works Progress Administration was the Federal Government's most ambitious undertaking yet to provide employment for the jobless. Sometimes called a "make work" program, the WPA eventually employed approximately one-third of the nation's 10,000,000 unemployed, paying them about $50.00 a month. The Works Progress Administration of 1935 continued the work of earlier programs, of building and improving a wide variety of public facilities. With the onset of World War II, the WPA began to focus on issues related to national defense, and by 1941 the entire effort shifted to war preparation. All of the agencies were eliminated in July 1943, thus bringing to a close a unique period in American history. The legacy left by the New Deal agencies of the WPA, especially Federal One, lives on through the detailed documents it so meticulously compiled and authored. They are snapshots frozen in time that richly chronicle life in America as it was just prior to the start of World War II. W.P.A.
