Of Men and Gold
The History and Evidence of Spanish Gold Mines in the West
By boat, horseback, or on foot, men have traversed the globe in the hope of finding their fortunes in gold. The very word has acted upon them like a strange fever. Men and women have endured great hardships, suffered untold sacrifices, and many have died from exposures of heat and cold in their futile quest for the elusive yellow metal.
Even today, old-timers and starry-eyed young bucks get all worked up over the thought of discovering one of the lost Spanish mines. Spaniards are said to have begun mining the Utah Mountains for treasure more than 300 years ago.
Author, Stephen Shaffer has spent a lifetime earning his title as one of the foremost experts on Spanish gold mines, ancient treasure and trails in the entire region.
