Book Description
ABOUT THE AUTHOR This work, True Treasure Stories of the Southwest, is William White’s second publication since his initial work of Tales of the Caballos. From a literary point of view, this new work represents a more sophisticated form of writing that the reader will be sure to enjoy. Without losing his ability to tell a story, William White has filled in the blank spots, while giving the reader a more colorful account of these adventures. While Tales of the Caballos became an underground best seller in New Mexico, this new book spans many states with a variety of stories about treasures, many of which have never been published before. All of the accounts represented in this book are personal experiences from twenty years of treasure hunting by the author. The only thing William White enjoys more than writing about his experiences is to be on the trail of a new treasure. “ I have gone to some amazing places and seen things that I would have never have witnessed had I not been a treasure hunter.” says William White. William White has had modest success treasure hunting and he is still looking for the “Big One”. That elusive catch of gold bars or gemstones is still waiting for him to find and some day I know that he will. In the mean time, the reader will enjoy his experiences and adventures with many inside tips on where to look and where to go to search for treasure. Wayne May, Publisher Ancient American Magazine

Book Description
T his is the forth book by William White and deals with treasure hunting lore and the a ctual treasure hunters who still walk the upper reaches of the fabled Caballo Mountains. This will be the last book dedicated exclusively to this Mountain Range. There will be other stories no doubt, but not enough to fill a complete volume with. William is a treasure hunter first, and a writer second, and because of this, most of his stories come from actual treasure hunting experiences. This book was designed to finish off most of the untold stories that abound here. It would be pure conceit to assert that all the treasure stories about the Caballo Mountains are now committed to print. This is simply not true and William would agree that these tales represent only those stories that he is aware of. His style of writing is both entertaining and informative in such a manner that one could easily relate to his experiences. This is another book that will be difficult to put down once one has started reading it. William is humbled by the fact that so many people enjoy reading his books and says that it fuels the fires of creative energy that causes him to continue his work. The reader will find this an honest book with no punches pulled for the sake of someone’s feelings. It is uniquely William White and I can almost hear him telling the stories as I read them in print.
