Oklahoma Treasures and Treasure Tales

While it is entitled To be about Oklahoma the early chapters focus heavily on Texas due to the nature of on of the trails. Besides that it makes me want to go explore those areas to see if they do indeed still hide gold.

Very interesting tales of lost treasure in Oklahoma. My sister-in-law had a copy of the book, but loaned it our, and it was never returned. She had used the gook as a reference book, looking up facts, tales, and stories whenever a conversation went that way, and she missed it sorely. The book was for her, but my skimming the pages that told tales of treasure near Lawton. Loved it while I had it.

Amazing book with incredible attention to detail. Having grown up in Oklahoma, and still residing here it is really interesting to read all of the stories of hidden treasure, stolen money, outlaws, etc. There are photos as well and it paints the picture of what life was like during these times. Great book to share with your kids or grandkids to interest them in the history around them!

Having grown-up in Oklahoma and my Grandfather was born in Indian Terrority, I thought this book would be interesting stories. As it turns out, most were based on some facts and a little imagination. Some were totally fact-based & some were second-third hand versions. I found this very interesting and plan to try and visit some of the places mentioned in the book. I have already investigated the very short story about Mud Creek near Comanche, OK. A friend knows the landowner where an old Spanish rock crusher is located.

Great reading I learned a lot about the southwest part of the state where I grew up.

Well written. Wanted to finish each section with no skipping around. Like to have in vehicle as I cross rivers and creeks of OK.

Fascinating account of the historic treasure tales of the territory and state of Oklahoma. You will not want to put this book down until you have finished reading it!!!!!

This excellent author has produced a book that should be on the reference shelf for anyone interested in treasure hunting. The book reads well and contains invaluable historical information. Profusely illustrated.
