From the 16th to the 19th century, Colorado was a major pathway for Spanish gold caravans. In the 1700's a transport led by Carrasco Rodriguez carried 12 chests of gold coins from Santa Fe New Mexico to Florida. They got as far as southern Colorado, never to be heard from again. From the 1850's through the Civil War, Colorado experienced another form of gold rush in the form of mining in the mountain boomtowns of Blackhawk, Cripple Creek and Leadville. By mid-war however, the Confederacy's coffers were empty and a desperate plan to raid the goldfields of Colorado was hatched by men looking to keep a desperate cause alive. How did these seemingly unrelated eras interrelate? Vince Roberts is about to find out. When he rescues the daughter of a former Gunny Sergeant whose family history goes back to the civil war, Vince embarks on a risky journey. His life of freedom also comes into question as he realizes he may have found what he's been seeking if only he can avoid dying.
