Modern-day counterparts of the Spanish conquistadors and the early nineteenth-century settlers still cling to the image of El Dorado. The folklore of the land still exerts its magical pull. The pickup truck has replaced the horse and mule, but treasure seekers still travel with little more than their dreams and hopes. They can be found even now in the mountains and the valleys of the American Southwest, still searching for the elusive riches they believe await them. W.C. Jameson gathers his material

from his own extensive on-site search in Arizona, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, and from interviews with people whose lives have been entwined with the search for particular treasures. His book contains 36 stories: accounts of gold mines where the nuggets can be collected with a rake; of hidden caverns where bars of silver are stacked like firewood; of caches of treasure guarded only by skeletons. Location maps point modern-day treasure hunters to the sites discussed in the legends.
