Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Go on a thrilling treasure hunt through Oklahoma history, track down the James Gang's unrecovered plunder and discover the stories behind scores of other historic troves. Oklahoma keeps her secrets. Adventurers combing the Wichita Mountains for the legendary Lost Cave with an Iron Door can slake their thirst at Cache Creek or Treasure Lake. In the tradition of French and Spanish explorers, miners and pioneers stashed their valuable discoveries along the Santa Fe Trail and the California Road. Chief Opothleyahola reportedly buried gold coins which could be worth more than $14 million today, while businessman Dr. John J. Hayes never returned from a Confederate refugee camp to reclaim his hidden fortune. From the fabled funds of the Knights of the Golden Circle to the precious cargo of sunken steamboats, W. Craig Gaines follows the money across 60 Oklahoma counties.
