Utah's Gold Rush

A sprawling treasure-history of Utah's fabled Lost Rhoades Mines, centered on the remarkable life of F.W.C. Hathenbruck—reputedly an illegitimate grandson of the German Kaiser—and his partner Caleb Rhoades. Packed with pioneer lore, Ute Indian tradition, Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, deadly gunfights, political intrigue reaching Congress and Brigham Young, and dozens of maps, letters, and firsthand accounts, this is the third volume in the authors' series on the sacred gold of the Uintah Mountains.

• The one-armed Provo doctor who may have been a secret heir to the German throne—and who found a gold mine rich enough to pay off the national debt.
• A bloody 1920 shootout in the high Uintahs over the location of the Lost Rhoades Mine.
• Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the Wild Bunch hired as gunfighters to guard a gold claim.
• Includes reproduced letters, deeds, photos, and two dozen treasure maps for readers who want to search themselves.

Perfect for a Utah history buff, rockhound, or treasure-hunting enthusiast fascinated by the Lost Rhoades Mines legend, pioneer lore, and Uintah Mountain folklore.
