The book contains 13 true stories of lost mines, buried treasure and outlaw loot from British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. This collection of stories is unlike most. Although many of the stories themselves are not new, in the past, most authors have merely glamorized the possibility that the treasure existed. This author has gone far beyond that, spending the time and research necessary trying to establish whether or not the treasure did, in fact, exist, whether the people, places and events actually existed. It was a complicated process given the number of years that had passed. Authenticating them however, did not detract from the stories. This collection will stir the adventuresome spirit in any reader.

" West Virginia boasts an unusually rich heritage of ghost tales. Originally West Virginians told these hundred stories not for idle amusement but to report supernatural experiences that defied ordinary human explanation. From jealous rivals and ghostly children to murdered kinsmen and omens of death, these tales reflect the inner lives—the hopes, beliefs, and fears—of a people. Like all folklore, these tales reveal much of the history of the region: its isolation and violence, the passions and bloodshed of the Civil War era, the hardships of miners and railroad laborers, and the lingering vitality of Old World traditions.
