Category : Clevenger family
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Pocket Edition (same as the larger book but designed smaller for easy storage in a backpack or on your person) The true story of an unsolved lost treasure of silver and gold. In 1886, 21 years after the Civil War, a shocking and brutal crime was committed in northern Arizona just south of the Utah line by two men, one of which was a 10th Calvary retired soldier. Elderly, Samuel and Charlotte Clevenger were both murdered by an ax-wielding killer. The only witness was their adopted teenage daughter, Jessie, who was abducted by the men responsible for the slaying. In secret, before his death, Sam Clevenger buried a stash of currency, silver and gold that has never been found! The legend of the Clevenger's lost gold of 1886 is a true story that is well documented and legally substantiated. The ruthless murder of Samuel and Charlotte Clevenger was considered at one time to be one of the most brutal acts ever committed in the territory of Arizona. This true story has been pulled out of the archives, old records and newspaper clippings of the time and painstakingly re-assembled into this book, providing the most accurate detailed description of the crime, court hearings, testimonies and location of the lost treasure.

Slumach's Gold
Author: Rick Antonson
Publisher: Heritage House Publishing Co
ISBN: 9781894974356
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Slumach's Gold chronicles what is possibly Canada's greatest lost-mine story. It searches out the truth behind a Salish man's hanging for murder in 1891 and tracks the intriguing legend about him that grew after his death. It was a legend that turned into a drama of international fascination when Slumach--the hanged criminal--was mysteriously linked to gold nuggets "the size of walnuts." The stories claimed that Slumach had placed a curse on a hidden motherlode to protect it from interlopers and trespassers just before he plunged to his death "at the wrong end of a five-strand rope." Although many have attempted to find Slumach's gold over the past 100 years, following tantalizing clues that are part of the legend itself, none have succeeded--or have they? Rick Antonson, Mary Trainer and Brian Antonson have diligently sifted through history and myth, separating fact from fiction, but leaving the legend intact--along with the promise of gold yet to be found by some future gold seeker.

Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea
Author: Gary Kinder
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 155584796X
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
“Titanic meets Tom Clancy technology” in this national-bestselling account of the SS Central America’s wreckage and discovery (People). September 1875. With nearly six hundred passengers returning from the California Gold Rush, the side-wheel steamer SS Central America encountered a violent storm and sank two hundred miles off the Carolina coast. More than four hundred lives and twenty-one tons of gold were lost. It was a tragedy lost in legend for more than a century—until a brilliant young engineer named Tommy Thompson set out to find the wreck. Driven by scientific curiosity and resentful of the term “treasure hunt,” Thompson searched the deep-ocean floor using historical accounts, cutting-edge sonar technology, and an underwater robot of his own design. Navigating greedy investors, impatient crewmembers, and a competing salvage team, Thompson finally located the wreck in 1989 and sailed into Norfolk with her recovered treasure: gold coins, bars, nuggets, and dust, plus steamer trunks filled with period clothes, newspapers, books, and journals. A great American adventure story, Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is also a fascinating account of the science, technology, and engineering that opened Earth’s final frontier, providing “white-knuckle reading, as exciting as anything . . . in The Perfect Storm” (Los Angeles Times Book Review). “A complex, bittersweet history of two centuries of American entrepreneurship, linked by the mad quest for gold.” —Entertainment Weekly “A ripping true tale of danger and discovery at sea.” —The Washington Post “What a yarn! . . . If you sign on for the cruise, go in knowing that you’re going to miss meals and a lot of sleep.” —Newsweek
