Bought it. Sounds right up my alley. Starting it now.

I bought a stack of local history books at auction and I'm working my way through this one, published in 1959. It's cool enough on it's own, but I found someone else's treasure map notes inside!
Also, this book was published only 3 years before I was born but it's publication date is closer to some of the 1800's mining and exploration it describes than it is to today. Good grief I'm old.

Don't tell anybody, but I very much admire the man.

Here I stand. I can do no other.

I always try to buy used books instead of new, via Amazon and elsewhere. One never knows what will be found tucked away or written in a book, especially older books.FredS wrote: 13 Nov 2024, 11:18 I bought a stack of local history books at auction and I'm working my way through this one, published in 1959.
