That's right Egypt isn't the only place on Earth famous for mummies. Beneath North America's desert sands are not only mummified remains but entire cities of the dead in some places. </strong></p><p><strong>For instance ever hear of Death Valley's infamous City of the Dead? What about the twisted tale of David E. George who claimed to be a surviving John Wilkes Booth and became a famous sideshow mummy after committing suicide? How about Elmer McCurdy an outlaw who only achieved fame after he too was mummified and turned into a circus attraction?</strong></p><p><strong>In this book prepare to learn about a veritable army of mummies from North America's past such as Queho the mummified bandit of Helldorado Nevada; Billy the Kid's pickled trigger finger; California's gigantic conquistador mummy of Cantua Creek; Sylvester the mysterious outlaw mummy unearthed along Arizona's Gila Bend; a mummified body from Mars buried in a lonely Texas cemetery; and the Aztec princess that rests in a treasure cavern hidden by Montezuma himself!</strong></p>
