About this title

About the Author:

From the book:

Howard D. Clark is a native of Kansas and a graduate of Washburn College. Journalism called to him early in life; he has been managing editor for the Farm Press Publications of Chicago, Illinois; staff writer for a number of business papers; statistical and analytical specialist for other periodicals and concerns.
This background, plus extensive travel on the Pacific Coast, has fitted him particularly well to undertake the writing of this book. Lost mine legends make up a large section of Western folklore. In this col­ lection he has made a sincere effort to present only the most important and best authenticated of them all.
He has also had the invaluable assistance of Ray Hetherington, an unquestioned authority in the field of Western Americana. Much of the source material used herein has been collected by Mr. Hetherington through thirty years of extensive research.
So far as is known to the publishers, this collection of lost mine legends is among the most complete and factual of any ever assembled.
