Hardcover, xviii + 267 pages

My copy is a Rio Grande Press Classic reprint of the edition first printed in 1936. It contains a Publisher’s Preface and an Introduction by Karl von Mueller. The title of the book is not correct as it also contains stories of treasure sought but not found. For example, Chapter 7 is on the Oak Island treasure and Chapter 8 is about the Cocos Island treasure.
