This book was released on 1995 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the myths, legends, and stories, one man’s hidden treasure stands above the rest. Jonathan Swift’s lost silver mines have been woven into legend and passed from one generation to the next for more than 230 years. Beginning with an introduction by the late Michael Paul Henson, nationally known treasure expert, this comprehensive volume explores the legend of this enigmatic character who mined the mountains of Appalachia from 1761 until 1769. Unable to remove his entire cache of silver when he left the region, Swift hid much of his treasure in the mines. When he returned in the late 1700s to retrieve the secret caches, he was unable to locate them. During this time, copies of a journal kept by Swift (giving directions and clues to the hidden stashes) were sold and/or given away. Steely has collected and compared legends from across the region, found maps and old journals, and compiled all the information in this interesting, organized book for treasure hunters and historians. Drawing upon treasure lore from the Shawnee, Cherokee, Spanish, French, and Melungeons, this work spans Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, and Alabama.

Book excerpt: Pierce Dwelly is a proud Eastern Kentucky native and has published this book to focus on hardships, friendships, struggles, and the endurance of the Kentucky way of life. While this story is fictional it draws upon the essence of the true spirit of all Kentuckians from varying walks of life. This story also centers around the natural beauty of the state as well as folklore and traditions. The author has taken great care to craft this tale in a way that showcases the characters' humanity while at the same time circumventing the negative stereotypes that often plague individuals of certain parts of the state. Swift's Silver Mine: Sam's Journey is based on the legend of Jonathan Swift and his alleged travels to the state of Kentucky in the mid 1700's. The legend of Swift's travels spans Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. It is widely believed in these areas that Swift had either discovered silver mines or stashed his plunders in various locations. While there are those who think that Swift's legend is just a fanciful tale, it is the author's belief that the tales are too common and the stories etched into the very fabric of the locations in question do lend some credence to their validity.

Book excerpt: This story of the lost Garland silver mine is based on folklore of the late 1700s and early 1800s with references to a John Smith (or Swift). According to legend, he was mining silver somewhere in the Southern Appalachians in the years around 1769. A map, said to have been found on the body of a man killed at Limestone Cove during the Civil War, fell into the possession of Johnson's great grandfather's uncle and nearly cost him his life. Folklore surrounding the lost silver mine supports Johnson's belief that he was the last living person to know the mine's location. After years of searching through papers and accounts of lost mines in Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina, Johnson found a story of a silver mine operating in the 1700s, for which there seemed to be many valid records. Still in existence are the remains of two furnaces, locations of which match descriptions given in a journal reportedly written by Smith (or Swift). This is a fascinating tale of intrigue, murder, and untold riches waiting to be discovered.

Book excerpt: “A vividly detailed, heartbreaking tale about a dark, alien place, the people who loved working there and a town that has never been the same. He brings to life the hot, dirty, treasure-hunt environment where danger was a miner's heroin." —Seattle Times “Investigation at its best.” —Tucson Citizen On May 2, 1972, 174 miners entered Sunshine Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, on their daily quest for silver. From his office window, safety engineer Bob Launhardt could see the air shafts that fed fresh air into the mine, which was more than a mile below the surface. Sunshine was a fireproof hardrock mine, full of nothing but cold, dripping wet stone. There were many safety concerns, but fire wasn’t one of them. So when thick black smoke began pouring from one of the air shafts, Launhardt was as amazed as he was struck with fear. When the alarm sounded, less than half of the dayshift was able to return to the surface. The others were too deep in the mine to escape. Scores of miners died almost immediately, but in one of the deepest corners of the mine, Ron Flory and Tom Wilkinson were left alone and in total darkness, surviving off a trickle of fresh air from a borehole. The miners’ families waited and prayed, while Launhardt refused to give up the search until he could be sure that no one was left underground. In The Deep Dark, Gregg Olsen looks beyond an intensely suspenseful story of the rescue and into the wounded heart of Kellogg, a quintessential company town that has never recovered from its loss.
