“There are not many left, we dreamers and wanderers…We are a breed of men addicted to danger, adventure, and the quest.” Thus begins W.C. Jameson’s account of one intrepid man’s efforts to find the lost treasures of North America and beyond. Jameson and his partners piece together centuries-old histories through documents, maps, and stories passed down from one generation to the next, facing life-threatening danger time and again. These riveting stories, told with humor and candor, are a portal to another time, and are a testament to the spirited independence of risk-takers, a few of whom still exist in what we think of as the modern age.
Although not one of Garlic Press’s books we find it relevant to acknowledge this treasured book by one of our own authors. A memoir by W.C. Jameson.Truly a great read and a book you will not want to put down until finished. It is available at Amazon in print and digital.
“What W.C. Jameson has done in real life makes National Treasure and other features pale in comparison. It is the stuff that dreams—and nightmares and sometimes fortunes—are made of. His objective may be gold or silver, but what he’s really after is adventure. This book is destined to become a classic not only among treasure hunters but for anyone who is determined to live life to the fullest. When I grow up, I want to be just like W.C. Jameson.“
