"These people," Dobie writes in his introduction, "no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado's inheritors. l have called them Coronado's Children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load.

About the book: (From the dust jacket) LOST MINES of the OLD WEST: CORONADO's CHILDREN J. FRANK DOBIE: More thrilling than any fictitious adventure tale is this true story of those who, for four centuries, have sought treasure in the fabulous lost mines of the South-west of America. Told with vigor, gusto and authority, it is a fascinating saga of the lengths to which man will go in his search for gold. This fascinating cavalcade of the South-west, from the time of Coronado down to today, presents a thousand exciting incidents in which pirates, outlaws, cowboys, rangers, miners, preachers, doctors, farmers, and gold-thirsty women, all play their parts. Generations of men have disemboweled mountains, drained lakes and turned rivers out of their courses; countless lives have been lost and unbelievable hardships endured-all in search of gold. In this book they pass before the reader in thrilling procession-gold-hungry adventurers, hoping, believing, striving, fighting-the mad horde of Coronado's children.
