About This Book

A group of young riders vacationing in the Southwest become entangled in a hunt for buried Spanish treasure linked to local Pueblo lore. After overhearing two schemers who intend to exploit or eliminate an elderly guide, they follow clues across plains and mountains, trading comfort for long rides, risky campouts, and confrontations with outlaws and natural hazards. The narrative alternates hunting and action sequences with accounts of frontier skill, camaraderie, and local tradition, as the boys use horsemanship, wits, and teamwork to unravel the secret, protect the innocent, and confront the men who seek the fortune.
