Buried Treasures of the Mid-Atlantic States (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

This is the twelfth title in a series long popular with middle readers (especially boys) and men. Clearly legends, not guides, these stories are yet driven by the possibility that unfound treasures await the curious, the determined, the restless mind.

W.C. Jameson has toured much of the country in a battered, green Ford pick-up truck, collecting legends and searching for the elusive riches that treasure hunters believe await them. His sources include his own fieldwork and archival documents, as well as th reports of die-hard treasure seekers and their descendents.

This volume includes twenty-nine legends, among them: The Buried Gold of Fat Patty Cannon (Delaware), Senator Parry's Lost Treasure (Maryland), Sea Island Treasure Cache (New Jersey), Grand Island Treasure Caches and Lost French Gold on Treasure Island (New York), Susquehanna Indian Silver Mine and Doane Gang Treasure (Pennsylvania) State-by-state location maps, a glossary, and a bibliography are included.
