Synopsis

This is the true story of the Clevenger family from Arizona Territory, and their unfortunate events as they trekked north to Washington Territory. Once the old, cantankerous Sam Clevenger and his wife, Charlotte, hired Frank Willson and John Johnson to help with the move, their fate took a dark turn. These true events were documented by journalists through the 1887 trial and well into the 1900s, and stories have been told of Sam's unfound treasure for nearly 130 years. But this is the first detailed, documented, and vetted account of their bizarre and fascinating tale.

Goodreads review by Milo on October 30, 2016

One important task reviewers are yoked with is being objective when they rate a book. Historical Fiction happens to be one of my favorite genres and then add to this that the story location pops right through where I live and work and bias can flow freely. I can sincerely say that this book is a well......more
