Great Book!

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.

Tales of gold and ghosts well worth the read.

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.
