Lost New Mexico Treasure

Bol

Journey through time in search of lost mines and treasures. Tales of the Land of Enchantment's lost treasures and lost mines span centuries. Montezuma's Aztecs reportedly hid gold, silver, and other riches in their journey through what would become New Mexico, and the Great Southwestern Revolt of 1680 is another source of many tales of lost treasure. Under Victorio Peak in the White Sands Missile Range, a contested find of hidden Spanish and Apache treasure got the U.S. military involved, while the Organ Mountains, Burro Mountains, and other ranges are rumored to have their own lost riches. Pack trains and wagon trains sometimes buried treasure in case of attack, but not all was recovered, including Madam Barcelo's millions. And outlaws like El Chato, Black Jack Ketchum, Jesse James, and the Reynolds Gang stashed loot throughout the territory. Author W. Craig Gaines uncovers stories of lost wealth and uncharted mines in New Mexico.
