Books in Treasure series

Legend and lore from the first settled region in the United States.Blackbeard, the swashbuckling marauder, terrorized land and water from New Hampshire to Florida and left behind vast hidden loot.

These ships, which transported jewels, silver, gold, and other treasure, often crashed near the coast littering the sands with riches.

Jameson chronicles more than thirty stories of lost riches and forgotten stashes in this ninth Buried Treasure book.
