The Legend Of Clevengers Lost Gold

Pocket Edition (same as the larger book but designed smaller for easy storage in a backpack or on your person) The true story of an unsolved lost treasure of silver and gold. In 1886, 21 years after the Civil War, a shocking and brutal crime was committed in northern Arizona just south of the Utah line by two men, one of which was a 10th Calvary retired soldier. Elderly, Samuel and Charlotte Clevenger were both murdered by an ax-wielding killer. The only witness was their adopted teenage daughter, Jessie, who was abducted by the men responsible for the slaying. In secret, before his death, Sam Clevenger buried a stash of currency, silver and gold that has never been found! The legend of the Clevenger's lost gold of 1886 is a true story that is well documented and legally substantiated. The ruthless murder of Samuel and Charlotte Clevenger was considered at one time to be one of the most brutal acts ever committed in the territory of Arizona. This true story has been pulled out of the archives, old records and newspaper clippings of the time and painstakingly re-assembled into this book, providing the most accurate detailed description of the crime, court hearings, testimonies and location of the lost treasure.

This is the true story of the Clevenger family from Arizona Territory, and their unfortunate events as they trekked north to Washington Territory. Once the old, cantankerous Sam Clevenger and his wife, Charlotte, hired Frank Willson and John Johnson to help with the move, their fate took a dark turn. These true events were documented by journalists through the 1887 trial and well into the 1900s, and stories have been told of Sam's unfound treasure for nearly 130 years. But, this is the first detailed, documented, and vetted account of their bizarre and fascinating tale. About the Author I was born 150 years too late to realize my passions. I must say that I am infatuated with the 1800's, particularly the West and the allures that drew so many to drastic measures of unforeseen survival challenges, riches and true freedom. I grew up in Southern Utah, 20 miles from town and surrounded by history and its treasures, found and unfound. From Anasazi ruins flush with artifacts, to unfound Spanish bullion and cowboy era Gold coins still buried, this was my perfect childhood that never seems to fade. My lifetime of digging in the red hills of Southern Utah, Northern Arizona and the rich dirt of Nevada has now evolved from simply under my fingernails to writing for the world to realize what intrigues this old soul of mine.

How Scores Of Lives Have Been Lost And Untold Hardships Endured In The Quest For Lost Bonanzas.

The greed to accumulate untold wealth has driven men in search of rare precious metals in all the mountain ranges of the world. They have scraped at the river beds and streams, dug shafts and caves into the lofty peaks and deep in the bellies of the rocky giants. They have lied, cheated, stole, killed and many died just for a glimpse of the sparkle that could lead to the treasure of the mother lode. The Hudson Valley and surrounding mountain ranges have not been immune to this lust for riches: the search for gold and silver. The Mountain Region of this valley has not been ravaged by any extensive search, but the drive to grasp instant wealth, power and fame from the ground and to get "something for nothing" has not left it untouched. In the beginning the Native Americans were in awe of these mountains. For it is in these mountains where Manitou, the Great Spirit, lived and perhaps still does. If these indigenous peoples did come across any precious metals, chances are they would have left them largely untouched, for everything in the mountains belonged to the Great Spirit! Stories of a Lost Gold Mine in the Hudson River Valley has dwindled into obscurity. While sitting around a campfire at Dylan Keenig's 13th birthday party, the stories have returned. The Sacandaga Treasure Hunters Club is formed. Local Indian Legend tells when Manitou calls upon the Spirits of the Bear and Panther to meet, the Mountain will give up its secrets one last time. Can Dylan Keenig and the rest of the Sacandaga Treasure Hunters find and piece together enough clues to find the Lost Gold Mine of the Hudson Valley before it is lost forever?
