Not Really the Southwest-No CA or NV, LIttle AZ
Wendall Hall's book, Buried Treasures of the American Southwest" is not a bad book; however, it does not include Southern Calif or Nevada, and only 4 common legends in Arizona. Has 14 legends from AR, 4 from NM, 5 from OK and 9 from TX. Arkansas and Oklahoma are not the states that come to mind when I think of the Amerian Southwest. Title of the book is wrong. Any...

This review is from: Buried Treasures of the American Southwest (Paperback)
Wendall Hall's book, Buried Treasures of the American Southwest" is not a bad book; however, it does not include Southern Calif or Nevada, and only 4 common legends in Arizona. Has 14 legends from AR, 4 from NM, 5 from OK and 9 from TX. Arkansas and Oklahoma are not the states that come to mind when I think of the Amerian Southwest. Title of the book is wrong. Any book with this title must include more of the legends of AZ,S. CA and NV., and save the 28 stories (out of only 36)regarding AR, OK and TX for another book.
Found Thomas Penfield book, "Dig Here- Lost Mines and Buried Treasure of the Southwest" better because it includes the "southwest". It also has a much better index system, linking the legends to state maps. Penfield'b book covers AZ well, but also is light in regard to NV and S. CA. Eugene Conrotto's book, "Lost Gold and Silver Mines of the Southwest" has the most legends from S. CA, NV and AZ, but is not indexed and organized very well. Pretty much just jumps from (good) story to story. I ended-up cutting the book up and organizing the stories by State in file folders for reference during future OHV trips.
