A Guide to Treasure in Idaho

 

~H. Glenn Carson - 127 pgs

 

You seem to hear me. This surprises me, for few ever seem to hear my feeble whispers. Do not be afraid. I whisper only of the past, of times and deeds long gone by. I faintly tell the tales of riches lost and hidden throughout the vastness that is Idaho. It is up to you to act or not upon the tales I whisper.
Who am I? It seems that I should know, but time has blurred the meaning of your question. No name can I give, and I can only weakly whisper of the gold and other wealth men once wrenched from the high mountains and deep canyons of Idaho. It seems to be my fate that I relate these deeds, in whispers fainter than a breeze.
Beware, Idaho’s gold was often gained with blood, stolen from those who gathered it with sweat. The quest for wealth was too often generated by greed, envy, fear, hatred, and deceit. Many treasures throughout Idaho are marked only by evil events, and perhaps can only be found and recovered by those who try to use such wealth wisely and well.
I hope that you are such a one. If so, listen well to my faintest whispers. Should you seek one or another of the troves of which I speak, stand in some high place and listen well. I may try to speak to you around the corners of a breeze. Perhaps I can whisper through the rocks and pines, and tell you more, should you prove worthy.

A Guide to Treasure in Kentucky

 

~Michael Henson - 103 pgs

 

Crossroads of a nation, inhabited by the ancient Mound Builders. Visited by Welsh sailors centuries before Columbus. Land of the Iroquois, Shawnee, Cherokee and other tribes of nomadic Indians but none ever stayed permanently. The area was used only for hunting and war. Kentucky is believed to have been named by the Iroquois "Ken-tak-ee", meaning meadow land, or the levels.
The buffalo and other animal trails were first used by the Indian hunters, later by the white pioneer and settler. Kentucky is one of the few tracts of land the Indians ever sold to the white man, the rest was taken by force of numbers. So much blood has been shed on its soil that it has been called the Dark and Bloody Ground.
Kentucky has heard the dreaded Indian war whoops the terrible Rebel yell, and the screams of charging armies, also the twang of the primitive bow, crack of the flintlock rifle, and the roar of cannon have sounded within her borders.
The French had a few trading posts in Kentucky prior to 1763, but most of their claims were north of the Ohio River and south of Kentucky in the Mississippi Valley.
The earliest exploration of any importance by white men in Kentucky was in 1750, when Dr. Thomas Walker came through Cumberland Gap with several men exploring for the state of Virginia.
