Product Description
New edition of George Thompson's classic work on Utah's most famous lost gold mine: The Lost Rhoades Mine. Mormon Gold? Lost Spanish Gold? Sacred Indian Gold? Fairy tale or myth, Thomas and Caleb Rhoades, Brigham Young, Chief Walkara and others all play a role in this retelling of the granddaddy of all of Utah's lost mines and treasures. Illustrated with b&w historical photographs on nearly every page along with 19 treasure maps and diagrams. The famous treasure hunter Mel Fisher even came to the Uinta Mountains with George Thompson to search for the lost Rhoades treasure. Learn all the stories of old Mormon gold allegedly mined by Thomas and Caleb Rhoades for the benefit of Brigham Young and the Mormons; the secrets of the Carre-Shin-Ob or the lost gold mine of the Ute Indians and their famed leader Chief Walkara; and all the numerous tales of Spanish gold and treasure buried somewhere in the Uintas. George Thompson reveals secrets of these lost mines that other writers never disclosed. Long out of print and highly sought after, Faded Footprints has been regularly selling online for $100 a copy and up! This is your chance to order an affordable edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tales of gold and ghosts well worth the read., June 20, 2001
George Thompson has written a treasure of tales about northeastern Utah's long-forgotten gold mines. Thompson's unique style will fascinate and entertain the reader as stories of greed for gold, Indian legends, Spanish miners and pioneer prospectors weave a tangled web of mystery and intrigue. Although this book raises more questions than it answers about hidden riches in the Utah mountains, it is nonetheless an enjoyable read with a bonanza of interesting photos and illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, September 27, 2007
By S. Peacock "Moab Rat" (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great telling and collection of old Utah mine and gold legends. The author had a very engaging style and walked the walk of and adventurer/prospector. It has pointed me in the direction of new trails and adventure many times. A great source of history behind the legends from a decendant of Pick Murdoch. Tragically George died in a car crash so this is the end of his great writing and work.
