"Utah's Hidden Treasures is a tour through the state of Utah, with a tidbit of other areas close by would be a good way of getting the juices flowing in the readers' veins to get up off the couch, put down the TV remote, hide the iPod and whatever device keeps them inside to venture out amongst the hills and valleys in search for that lost mine, treasure or outlaw loot! The author, having spent many years; mostly in his early years hunting such things, learned a lot about many places and accumulated dozens of stories and maps. Are they all true? Maybe not, but that's part of the excitement! It seems that most stories have been somewhat embellished, and many maps have been drawn to scam some unknowing greenhorn. But, there are good maps and good stories and it's an adventure to figure out what is and what isn't true."--provided by publisher.

The famous legend of the Iron Door Mine, a forgotten mission and a lost city somewhere in the Santa Catalina Mountains, north of Tucson, Arizona, has lured prospectors and treasure hunters for hundreds of years. The discoveries of early Spanish placer mining sites, stone ruins, and stories of the mountains only fueled speculation about the riches still left behind. Common knowledge among the locals eventually gained legendary status. Even more surprising was the abundance in gold, silver, and copper etched into the mountains. These stories became embedded in Arizona’s early history and were spun into some sensational legends and featured in numerous literary and film adventures. "Treasures of the Santa Catalina Mountains" explores the legends and history of the Catalinas, compiled from out-of-print books, magazines, newspapers and recollections from local prospectors. More than 430 pages and over 1,200 references.
