According to legend, they did find a stunning bonanza of the precious metal. While mining its unbelievably rich vein, Indians attacked. Only three managed to escape the assault. Their extraordinary discovery and harrowing escape provide the basis for one of the West's most exciting and enduring legends: the Lost Adams. The author shares his exploration of the Lost Adams legend. Fine bright, unread copy without dust jacket, as issued.
