Eleven tales of lost treasure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
"X Doesn't Mark the Spot: Tales of Pirate Gold, Buried Treasure, and Lost Riches" is a collection of eleven tales of lost treasure, retrieved from files and treasure tales of Northeastern Canadian history. Designed to appeal to an adolescent audience, the tales contain more than a smattering of swagger and scallywagism, but the kernels of truth are perhaps still evident. Most tempting of all are the tales of treasure sought and unfound, either cursed by ghosts or lost due to natural events. Will reading "X Doesn't Mark the Spot" make someone rich? Maybe not in cash, but assuredly in valuable lore and history and even better, love of reading, the answer is a resounding yes! Salty manuscripts and supernatural events notwithstanding, author Ed Butts manages to pack in a solid dose of real Canadian colonial history.
