Thunder Gods Gold

<p>Barry Storm dedicated his life to finding the lost treasures of the Old West. In <em>Thunder God's Gold</em> Storm—born John G. Climenson—takes you along with him on his search in the 1930s for abandoned gold mines including the famed Lost Dutchman mine in Arizona's Superstition Mountains.  <br />Reading <em>Thunder God's Gold</em> is the next best thing to being there! A former reporter Storm was one of the first writers to turn his treasure-seeking adventures into books and he filled his tale with rich detail fascinating stories conversations with other prospectors—including competitors and would-be waylayers—and cliff-hanging action. The book contains numerous clues to help a hopeful treasure-hunter follow Storm's lead: photographs maps key markers and a guide to "signs of treasure"—symbols like crosses and arrows left etched into trees and rocks used to send secret messages to the next worthy adventurer.  <br /><em>Thunder God's Gold</em> is such a compelling story of the search for lost mines that Columbia Pictures adapted the book into a movie the 1949 Western Lust for Gold starring Ida Lupino and Glenn Ford. <br />Storm dedicated <em>Thunder God's Gold</em> to "the prospector: whose daring enterprise on lonely trails has built and will forever sustain the destiny of a metallic civilization . . . . “ <br />Storm's writing is so infectious even non-believers may find themselves putting on their boots grabbing a pick-axe and heading for the hills. Will you be the next adventurer to find the lost mines?<br /> </p>
