Treasure Anthology: Stories of Lost Mines & Buried Treasures . . . From the Conquistadores, Frontier America & the Plantation South, Vol. 1
by E.S. LeGaye

21 treasure tales around the US and one story of Spanish treasure lost on the Silver Bank Shoals off of the Dominican Republic.

What I like about this book is that each story includes location map and a copy of what appears to be his index card filing system. Before the common use of the personal computer, index cards were one of the ways to help organize research information. The story number on the card probably refers to additional information stored file cabinets.

I have covered several of these lost treasures.
O – The Lost Springer Lode, Montana: I have a good sized story on this one.
I – Cheyenne Black Hills Stage Robbery Loot, South Dakota: Which one? LOL Must be the armored one, just put out several book on the section and don't want to proof read anymore of that.
H – The Pogue Station Treasure, Nevada: Am looking forward to doing Nevada, in this story, small caches were found, but where's the rest?
D – Lost Cabin Mine of the Seven Swedes, Wyoming: Many versions of who the men were and how many in the party. I am working on a book on the History of this Mine. Actually JeffofPa did post in the Montana treasure stories section a small portion of it.
