Thorough research is evident as one progresses through this adventure-filled text. -School Library JournalThe dusty trails heading west of the Mississippi provided intrigue, adventure, and danger for the men and women who set out in search of a new life and fortune. Outlaws along with pioneers and forty-niners traveled this frontier often, finding and losing riches along the way. The Great Plains region – loaded with history from Native Americans, Spanish explorers, and Mexican, German, and Scots-Irish settlers – holds some of the country's most promising opportunities for finding buried treasure. Scattered from North Dakota to Texas, these stories provide a glimpse into the lives of fleeing outlaws, hard-working ranchers, priests, prospectors, and immigrants―all entwined in their search for treasure. Along with riches and loot, readers will also find messages encouraging courage, responsibility and resourcefulness.
