Description
Two of mankind’s most persistent quests—“get rich quick” and “something for nothing”—provide the power driving these tales of treasure-seekers in action. Renowned storytellers like Louis L’Amour and Jack London join real-life adventurers risking their lives for riches they think are worth the dangers.
Buried treasure, creeks glittering with gold nuggets, sunken galleons filled with Spanish doubloons—the mother lodes are as varied as the men pursuing them. Some of the seekers will be rewarded; others face tragedy in remote places, lost among the jungles, mountains, and oceans. In both fiction and non-fiction, these stories make treasure hunting a real-life experience, in gripping prose that makes the reader of these stories part of the hunt itself.

Here are some great adventure stories about treasure hunting, such as the classic "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson and "Young Treasure Hunters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. That sampling right there should give you an idea of the quality of the stories. Every tale in this collection is a gem. Highly recommended.
