Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Trail of Gold and Silver, historian Duane A. Smith details Colorado's mining saga - a story that stretches from the beginning of the gold and silver mining rush in the mid-nineteenth century into the twenty-first century. Gold and silver mining laid the foundation for Colorado's economy, and 1859 marked the beginning of a fever for these precious metals. Mining changed the state and its people forever, affecting settlement, territorial status, statehood, publicity, development, investment, economy, jobs both in and outside the industry, transportation, tourism, advances in mining and smelting technology, and urbanization. Moreover, the first generation of Colorado mining brought a fascinating collection of people and a new era to the region. Written in a lively manner by one of Colorado's preeminent historians, this book honors the 2009 sesquicentennial of Colorado's gold rush. Smith's narrative will appeal to anybody with an interest in the state's fascinating mining history over the past 150 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-three American women have participated in cross-country skiing in the Winter Olympics between the years of 1972 and 2018. In 2018, forty-six years after the first team competed, Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall won Olympic gold in the Team Sprint, in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the first Olympic medal for U.S. women's cross-country skiing. Five decades of women skiers stood up and cheered, celebrating this long sought after achievement. This book shares the collective journey of these women Olympians, with the skiers themselves telling the story. Part I combines individual stories along a variety of themes, to collectively demonstrate the challenges of competing against the best in the world. In Part II, virtually every one of the fifty-three wrote her own profile to describe her skiing career and post-Olympic life. Photographs throughout put faces with the stories and add vibrancy to the narrative. The anecdotes in Trail to Gold: The Journey of 53 Women Skiers, paint the picture of women's cross-country skiing over 50 years--a fascinating history recorded in personal heartbreak and triumph and in fun vignettes from life on the trail.

Adventurers combing the Wichita Mountains for the legendary Lost Cave with an Iron Door can slake their thirst at Cache Creek or Treasure Lake. Following the tradition of French and Spanish explorers, miners and pioneers stashed their valuable discoveries along the Santa Fe Trail and the California Road. Chief Opothleyahola reportedly buried gold coins that could be worth more than $14 million today, while businessman Dr. John J. Hayes never returned from a Confederate refugee camp to reclaim his hidden fortune. From the unrecovered loot of the James Gang to the fabled funds of the Knights of the Golden Circle, W. Craig Gaines tracks tales of treasure across sixty Oklahoma counties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this first masterly volume in an epic reimagining of the Trojan War, David Gemmell has written an ageless drama of brave deeds and fierce battles, of honor and treachery, of love won and lost. He is a man of many names. Some call him the Golden One; others, the Lord of the Silver Bow. To the Dardanians, he is Prince Aeneas. But to his friends, he is Helikaon. Strong, fast, quick of mind, he is a bold warrior, hated by his enemies, feared even by his Trojan allies. For there is a darkness at the heart of the Golden One, a savagery that, once awakened, can be appeased only with blood. Argurios the Mykene is a peerless fighter, a man of unbending principles and unbreakable will. Like all of the Mykene warriors, he lives to conquer and to kill. Dispatched by King Agamemnon to scout the defenses of the golden city of Troy, he is Helikaon’s sworn enemy. Andromache is a priestess of Thera betrothed against her will to Hektor, prince of Troy. Scornful of tradition, skilled in the arts of war, and passionate in the ways of her order, Andromache vows to love whom she pleases and to live as she desires. Now fate is about to thrust these three together–and, from the sparks of passionate love and hate, ignite a fire that will engulf the world.

Book excerpt: Life isn't easy in the 1860s on the western frontier as the discovery of gold and silver beckons prospectors, and the promise of cheap land attracts ranchers and farmers from the East Coast. It is a time of greed, lawlessness, self-preservation, and opportunity. The wayward Tom Lawson seizes the moment when he discovers a cache of silver near the town of Ribera in southern Arizona, between El Paso and Tucson. When the Lawson family receives word of Tom's silver strike, his brother Ben must decide whether to begin his medical career as planned or assist his brother. Reluctant but enticed, Ben moves from Colorado to Arizona to help his sibling. On the stagecoach ride from El Paso to Ribera, he and the other passengers are robbed. It becomes all too evident that the territory is under constant threat by Indians, renegade discharged Confederate soldiers, and disenfranchised Mexicans. Gold, Silver, and Guns follows the stories of Ben and five others who migrate to Ribera seeking adventure and fortune. As they discover that life in this agitated small town may pose challenges and risks far greater than the rewards, they each must weigh the price of what it takes to survive and prosper.

Book excerpt: Mother Trigedgo is one of the old Cornish clairvoyants that tell fortunes by cards and by pouring water in your hand and going into a trance. Her prophecy says that a man will take a long journey out West where he will find two treasures, one of Silver and the other of Gold. He must choose carefully or he'll lose them both. He will fall in love with a beautiful lady, but must be aware or she'll go with another man. Finally she predicts that a man will meet his death by the hand of a dear friend. Driven by this prophecy, a young westerner called Denver Russell heads off to Arizona and by the occurrence of strange circumstances he finds a place known as the Apache Leap where some of the fortune teller's words begin to make sense.

Book excerpt: * School teacher finds 54,000 in Civil War-era currency near Gettysburg.* Children find 5900 in gold coins in Florida.* Tree blown over by storm in Louisiana reveals Civil War plantation's jewels and silver.* Treasure hunter finds a silver plate and coins worth 24,000 in a park in the center of Roanoke.* Loot from John Hunt Morgan's raids never recovered.* Contents of the U.S. Mint in New Orleans never recovered after the Confederate occupation.* At least 150,000 from the Confederate treasury unaccounted for when Jefferson Davis was captured.Some of the legends about lost Civil War treasure have proven to be true in recent years. Today, a dedicated band of treasure hunters continue the search for the biggest hoards of gold, coins and relics of the Civil War era that have never been found.Civil War treasure hunter and historian W. Craig Gaines has produced a fascinating introduction to lost Civil War treasure, including a chapter and maps devoted to each of the forty states, as well as Mexico, the Bahamas and the West Indies, where lost treasures are said to be buried.Many tales of Civil War treasure belong in the realm of legendary and Gaines has carefully assembled the evidence to separate genuine incidents from fanciful. Each Civil War treasure tale is documented and has references for further research. Both the general Civil War enthusiast and the prospective treasure-hunter will be fascinated by these stories, including lost mines discovered during campaigns in the West, lost family treasures hidden from Union or Confederate raiders, sunken Confederate blockade-runners, lost payrolls of military units, and the missing loot from Confederate raids on the Colorado gold fields. The author has also drawn upon his many years' experience in research and exploration to provide an extensive guide to the world of the Civil War treasure and relic hunter, including journals, organizations, websites, government agencies, shops and manufacturers.
