Samenvatting
The legend of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. This true story starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.
The Final Quest for One of America’s Most Famous “Lost” Gold Mines The tale of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most well-known lost-treasure stories in America. First popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver in 1928, it is one of the strongest and most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. Gold was taken from Adams’ canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hen’s eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. The gold was sometimes harvested by the Apache Indians, who used it to trade for rifles and ammunition, and then later by a man known only as Adams and his party of miners. Because of the allure of gold and the promise of wealth, the Lost Adams Diggings has been searched for by thousands of hopeful prospectors and adventurers during the past one hundred and fifty years. Dozens have claimed discovery, but their declarations have never held up under investigation, nor did the finders ever return home with any significant amount of gold. This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century. W.C. Jameson is the award-winning author of more than 100 books. He is the bestselling treasure author in America, and his prominence as a professional fortune hunter has led to stints as a consultant for the Unsolved Mysteries television show, the Travel Channel, and the History Channel. He lives near Austin, Texas.
