Treasure Mountain
Nellie Shell
Within the mysterious depths of the Superstition Mountain lies the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. For over one hundred years it has drawn gold seekers from all over the world, but no one has ever found it.
When their Uncle Bob takes Chip and Tim on a "Dutchman Hunt," the brothers find the mountain is full of surprises and dangers beyond their wildest imaginations.
They also learn that finding gold is not the most important thing in life.
Treasure Mountain weaves the history, mystery and lure of the famous Superstition Mountain of Arizona into an exciting book for children. The author captures the story of the Dutchman's Lost Mine in such a manner that a child learns many valuable lessons about life, the environment and friendships. I highly recommend this book for children from my fifteen years of experience teaching junior high students the history and legend of Superstition Mountain.
