Book excerpt: THE LOST TREASURES OF MONTANA, Gold West Country-Vol. 2 Author, Peter Netzel The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region. The series is based on over twenty years of researching old treasure legends. This book contains details of locations of buried caches and lost treasures in Gold West Country, Montana. Counties covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana-GOLD WEST COUNTRY, Volume 2 are Broadwater County, Deer Lodge County, Jefferson County, Lewis and Clark County, Powell County, and Silver Bow County. Even though some regions have more lost treasures than others, all of The Treasure State's regions have an interesting history and intriguing stories of the characters who lived in the gold rush days of the Old West. Montana's state capitol, Helena, is located in this region. Helena was the site of one of the richest gold strikes in U.S. History, at Last Chance Gulch, in July of 1864. About 67 miles southwest of Helena, is Butte, another former boom town. Butte began as nothing more than a group of gold mining camps back in the early 1870's. Then, silver and copper were discovered. These discoveries brought in a flood of people and new companies to Butte. By the late 1870's, a large and bustling city had been born. While silver and gold were actively mined in Butte, it was copper that truly put Butte on the map. The stories take you back to the time of the Wild West and its gold rush days. You will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot, how they did it, and where it may have ended up. Most of the stories include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the book. Along with the many maps included, are rich details of the colorful history that paint a vivid word portrait of the history that took place in this section of Montana in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes. Author, Peter Netzel, explains - "I have been researching old treasure legends for twenty years and have been successful in pinning down the locations of most of the lost treasures in this region on topographic maps. I include these detailed maps with the stories in this series. In addition to pinpointing actual locations, I have even found a few lost treasures never before presented in books!" Portions of the Gold West Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated. There were other outlaws active in Gold West Country in the 1800's and early 1900's also. The most common and repeated crimes involved cattle rustling; horse stealing; and robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. During the short reign of terror by Plummer and his road agents, it is believed that they hid much of their loot. (Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling!) Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer and other outlaws are said to lay in this region. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaws hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some may be doubtful, and some accounts seem to hold water. It is up to you, the reader, to come to your own conclusions. No matter what you decide, you will find the history of the Montana's Gold West Country interesting and entertaining. You do not have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy this book series. In the Lost Treasures of Montana series, you will even find a few lost treasures never before presented in books!

You don't have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy the books in this series because they also contain page upon page of historical accounts of the people and places of Montana in its early days. Based on decades of research, these books enable the reader to pin down the locations of lost treasures on the included maps. The region covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana is Glacier Country, which is comprised of the counties: Mineral, Granite, Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, Ravalli, Sanders, Glacier, and Missoula. Located in northwestern Montana, Glacier Country includes the Flathead and the Blackfeet Native American Indian Reservations, and Glacier National Park. Montana's Glacier Country spans millions of acres of stunning natural wonders and wild beauty. This book, The Lost Treasures of Montana: GLACIER COUNTRY, is the fifth in a series of books that takes a look at the lost treasures of Montana. Portions of this region are where Henry Plummer and his gang hid themselves and their stolen loot. Even though some sources believe it more likely that outlaws spent the loot they stole as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling, thieves like Henry Plummer took way more than he could squander rapidly, so he had to stash it somewhere. But, not all of the lost treasure caches covered in this book were the result of outlaw gangs hiding loot. Some concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time.

Book excerpt: The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region.

You will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot and learn how they did it. Most of these stories also include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! Stories of likely locations of hidden treasure covered in this book include: The story of George Whitney: Livestock Rustler, the outlaw who was described by locals as a polite gentleman and ladies man, while at the same time being dubbed by the Montana Stockgrower's Association as "the major rustler in eastern Montana," who met anyone approaching his cabin with his guns at the ready. Another tale, Fort Musselshell or "Two Sleeps," where the Gros Ventre tribe would bring gold dust and nuggets for trading giving only a hint at the site of the source of the gold as being "two sleeps to the south of the post." There is the legend of Fort Peck's William Kittering, the wealthy merchant, who buried 35,000 in gold coins on one of his properties, but died without divulging its location to anyone in Died Without Telling. Dragged To The Bottom & Swept Away, details the story of a gold miner whose heavy money belt took him to the bottom of the river where he and his gold could still lay. There is the legend of The Mysterious Case Of Bill Crane, which tells of a hermit who was a prolific counterfeiter living on an island. When he was killed, counterfeit $10 and $20 gold pieces were found along the lake shore; but, had he buried the real money he had made from shipments of the counterfeits to Chicago? There are several intriguing stories: Never Seen Again, Keyes Gold Mine Update, Nepee's Gold, and Boating Down The Missouri, which relate the lurid details about men who sought after, but never found a rich lost gold cache in the Little Rockies which was first reported by Chris Keyes. Also included in The Lost Treasures Of Montana: Missouri Country are the legends of lost silver and gold mines in this region of Montana; these appear in the stories: Piney Buttes, The Lost Laverdure Mine, Lost Arch Silver Placer and North of Poplar. The book also includes descriptions of several outlaw loot stashes that were never found in stories like: Hidden At The Forks, West of Malta, The Great Northern Train Robbery, Six-Shooter Bob Walsh, and Base Of Operations South Of Landusky. Not only will reading the books in this series appeal to treasure hunters, but any reader will enjoy reading about the rich and colorful history of the Old West in its gold rush days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, railroads played a crucial role in the development of Montana's economy. Robert A. Schalla examines early efforts to bring rail transport to the New World Mining District near the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park and Red Lodge-Bear Creek Coal Field in south-central Montana. The saga began with a chance discovery in 1866 and follows the exploits of individuals who worked to bring rail transport to the mines of southern Montana. Starting with Northern Pacific's unsuccessful efforts to build a railroad through Yellowstone, this story follows the struggles of various privately financed schemes to develop the vast mineral wealth of these two regions. A youthful entrepreneur from Milwaukee succeeded in financing a railroad to the coal fields, but his plan to extend the line to the national park runs afoul of Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, who was determined to drive him out of business. The story dives into the motivations and background of these individuals and their ultimate triumphs and failures. The completion of the Montana, Wyoming & Southern Railroad (MW&S) in 1906 resulted in the creation of three new towns and six separate mining operations. The MW&S was one of the few privately owned lines in Montana that, despite forces aligned against it, maintained its independence until it was abandoned. For nearly fifty years it formed an important part of the state's economy as the Bear Creek mines supplied private, commercial, and industrial consumers with some of the highest-quality coal in the state.

Counties covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana: GOLD WEST COUNTRY, Volume. I are: Beaverhead County, and Madison County. The stories take you back to the time of the Wild West and its gold rush days; you will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot, how they did it, and where it may have ended up. Most of the stories include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! In the Lost Treasures of Montana series, you will even find a few lost treasures never before presented in books! Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the book. Along with the many maps included, are rich details of the colorful history that paint a vivid word portrait of the history that took place in this section of Montana in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes.

Portions of the Gold West Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated.

(Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling!) Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer and other outlaws are said to lay in this region. Henry Plummer and his accomplices were lynched for their crimes in the early 1860's. Years later, books were written averring that Henry Plummer was innocent of the crimes of which he was accused. Nonetheless, his life was cut short by vigilantes. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaws hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some may be doubtful, and some accounts seem to hold water.
