our family used this book to travel and see ghost towns on the Utah frontier.

This book is a double purpose book. If you want to, you can just read it for its sheer adventure about outlaws and where they suspect they buried their stash. It's a story about old towns with a history. Better yet, it gives you the location where the lost treasures are suppose to be hidden. All you need now is a metal detector. This book is both historical and enticing. It makes you want to start digging.

Another great resource on lost Utah Ghost towns. Using this book, a friend and I have explored some of the towns listed. It's really nice to have the back story on why the towns boomed and why they busted.

You have to be interested in treasure hunting and ghost towns, but this book won't stay at my house. Everyone wants to read it. No one wants to return it.
