The Lost Treasures Of Wyoming Peter Netzel

THE LOST TREASURES OF WYOMING: NORTHEAST REGION covers the lost treasures to be found in the counties of: Campbell, Crook, Johnson, Sheridan, and Weston. It was in Johnson County and vicinity that the bitter and bloody "Johnson County War" was fought between big established cattle ranchers and newly-arrived homesteading farmers in the early 1890's. Why write a book on State treasure stories? Because Most everyone dreams of finding treasure! Many of us have heard about some form of lost or hidden treasure, maybe even made an attempt at locating it. Some of the lost treasures described in the book are large enough that a person could retire after finding one of them! Some will be smaller than they are claimed to be, no doubt. Most hidden treasures are little-known since they were not considered anything but "rainy day money" when they were hidden away. The little caches could be hidden in baking powder tins or Mason jars or other common containers. The farmer down the road may have buried his meager life savings long ago, and no one knew of its existence when he died. The purpose of this "The Lost Treasures Of Wyoming" book is to present a brief look at some of Wyoming's still hidden treasure stories, while providing a few facts that can validate their existence and, hopefully, help to pinpoint the actual locations of the hidden riches. The book is full of maps pinpointing the location of lost outlaw loot, hidden mines, and other interesting facts about Wyoming's past. BUT - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A TREASURE HUNTER TO ENJOY THE BOOKS IN THE SERIES! The stories contain many historical details and firsthand accounts of the people and events of days gone by. This book contains dozens of intriguing true stories, maps, historical accounts, and photos of Wyoming's historical past.
