5.0 out of 5 stars Best read in a long time.., March 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Buried Treasures of Texas (Paperback)
Jameson does a great job of making the legends of Texas' buried treasure come alive. His facts and details made me want to grab a shovel and get to work trying to find some of this stuff!! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Texas or treasure anywhere. Jameson's dry wit made the book enjoyable. I finished it in one night!

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing read! 5 STARS!, December 6, 2001
This review is from: Buried Treasures of Texas (Paperback)
Texas Treasures is a great book about lost treaure, and adds some history of Texas too. It's an excellent book, and he tells you about where the gold might be located. W.C. Jameson also gives treasure stories about his close calls to where he almost found the treasure.It's organized and a quality print!
