pub by Grosset and Dunlap NY - Southwest Press, Dallas, Texas c1930.
367 p. illustrated some maps, glossary of terms, footnotes
The title aptly describes this book. The concept of the seekers of fortune being
Coronado s children is apt, as Coronado was the first European seeker of fortune and
all subsequent seekers follow in his footsteps. I was amazed at the sheer number
of claims of buried treasure, of Comanche and Apache involvement and of people who
found treasure and after going for supplies, assistance etc. could not re-find
their earlier find. Includes a chapter on Laffite the pirate.
