 Author seeks imput September 4, 1999

I wrote the original book in 1963 (as Lost Desert Bonanzas) to mark 25 years of Desert Magazine lost mine stories. The main appeal was Norton Allen's great cartography (this is the only kind of map book that gets better as the maps are outdated by freeways and etc.). I would like input from treasure-seekers, but all I know about the particular lost mines is recounted in the book.

What is a book about lost mines without maps? The maps in the book were neat. Maybe the gold is still there?

This is a good read just to fire the imagination on a cold winter night. It's also a good one to get filled with bookmarks, margin notes, dog-ears, and fingerprints on the bookshelves of serious treasure-hunters. Buy it.

This book has some really interesting stories about the Southwest, but I wish is had more detail about the locations of starting points and landmarks. Obviously, it discusses *lost* places and things, but it would help to have a better, more detailed and up-to-date description of where to start looking for them.
