Description:"This is the best work ever written on hidden treasure, and one of the most fascinating books on any subject to come out of Texas." --Basic Texas BooksWritten in 1930, Coronado's Children was one of J. Frank Dobie's first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist.

They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load . . ."This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses."As entrancing a volume as one is likely to pick up in a month of Sundays." --The New York Times"Dobie has discovered for us a native Arabian Night." --Chicago Evening PostWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
