Publisher's Synopsis

For years, the tale of a group of miners who found a hidden canyon of gold only to be massacred by the Apache was legend across the Old West. Initially spread in saloons by the lone survivor known only as Adams, Texas folklorist J. Frank Dobie later immortalized it for a new generation in his writings. However, Dobie's tale was a pastiche constructed of the myriad of conflicting accounts of the Lost Adams Diggings, still lost to this day. Rather than treading the same old ground, this tome corrals the most outlandish minutia to ever pervade the myth of Adams and his lost gold. In the pages ahead, puzzle over tales of Billy the Kid searching for the diggings and even rumors of the Jesse James gang using the canyon as a hideout. Thrill to visions of Chief Nana's ghost guarding the gold and undead Apache warriors popping from the ground. Wonder at reports of ancient cliff dwellings embedded in the canyon walls and strange mummified remains nearby. And lastly, marvel at stories of a supernatural earthquake destroying the diggings when the white man's lust for gold angered the Apache spirits...
