Don't waste your time if your looking for a real treasure hunting book. This is just as described and is a hobby book nothing more. The book is written by a lady who has a hobby of trying to find so-called lost treasures of history. These lost treasures are usually based on legend and not all of them have concrete proof that they even existed. She does include a bibliography so there is a chance that some of the information that she tries to write about can be sought out.

This whole book is written from her perspective of going and looking for some of these lost treasures of the west. In this case the west goes all the way from Montana down to Texas and to the west of there. Each case includes information on the background of each story, yet I was left with a feeling of incompleteness after reading the entire book.

There are maps included, but I would not use them in real life to get to the locations written about in the book. These maps are not geographical maps, and instead are drawn out maps with drawings of landmarks and people, with a more artistic sense than actual mapping.

I would overall not recommend this book except for entertainment purposes. It is not something to be taken literally.
