Synopsis "Doubloons: The Story of Buried Treasure"

"Once a good tale of buried treasure, always a good tale of buried treasure. And few persons recount them with the verve and air of authenticity that marks Mr. Driscoll's narrative." (1931 review)"Doubloons is certainly one of the best, and quite possibly the actual best work on treasure trove ever compiled. Mr. Driscoll, impelled by an obvious affection for the subject, has made an exhaustive study in trailing record and legend to present as accurate an accounting of the great 'lost' treasures of history as could be desired. . . "Some of the treasures, like the mysterious hoard at Oak Island, Nova Scotia, probably will never be obtainable. Others, such as the treasures buried in Morgan's sack of old Panama City, are being gradually unearthed . . . And the sea, the earth's greatest treasure house, is being made to disgorge much of its loot from wrecked ships through modern methods. . . ."There are tales of buried treasure on Trinidad Island, on the remote Tristan da Cunha, on Block Island which lies between Montauk Point and Point Judith, and on Gardiner's Island still nearer to New York, where many hunters have dug in search of the widely fictionized treasure of Captain Kidd that Captain Kidd never buried. . . ."Doubloons has been effectively decorated by Harry Cimino . . . It is cordially recommended as a Baedeker for treasure hunters and a very satisfactory reading for those who take their thrills vicariously in the depths of the library chair." (1930 review)
