Buried Treasure of California

The Seventh volume in W.C. Jameson's buried treasures series, Buried Treasure of California, contains legends from California's mountains, deserts, beaches, and cities. Enjoy thirty tales of forgotten riches that drove westward expansion.

Gold nuggets cover the banks of a cavernous underground river thousands of feet under a mountain in the Mohave desert, accidentally sealed by a detonation in the 1920s. . . .

High among the lofty peaks of the Sierra Nevadas lies a golden lake, its bottom pebbled with rich ore, which no one has been able to locate for decades. . . .

Many of the legendary California treasures have been unearthed, many still remain.

Does Death Valley hold more than sand and arid desert?

Is the long California coastline covering secrets and hidden riches?

Are the sprawling metropolises now covering the priceless artifacts of an emperor?

Outlaws, prospectors, Indians, loners and Mexicans throw themselves into all the adventure and intrigue. California's mountains, deserts, beaches, and cities—as well as sunken treasure—are all encompassed in this collection.

After reading these 30 revived tales of wealth and splendor, readers will be tempted to throw some supplies into a backpack like the '49-ers of yore.

1995, paperback, 190 pages.
