Description
"For generations, people all over the world have been fascinated and enthralled by tales and legends of lost mines and buried treasures. North America has served as a setting for hundreds of stories of fortune won and lost, fantastical discoveries of riches beyond belief, and myths about cities of gold. Every now and then one of these treasures is found or a site is identified that stirs the imagination and results in a mad rush of enthusiasts seeking the truth or treasure for themselves. The incredible treasure mystery associated with Victorio Peak, an otherwise undistinguished mountain in New Mexico, is full of colorful characters, murder, unexplained deaths, intrigue, theft, deceit, and political and legal machinations. The story of the treasure's origins, the quest for its control, and the ongoing rumors about its place in American history is, in fact, one of the most bizarre and confunding mystery stories ever told -- about what may well be the largest treasure cache known to man"--Dust jacket.
