Kokoweef: The Cavern of Myths and Riches

The legend of Kokoweef Peak and Earl Dorr's claimed discovery of a cavern filled with gold in California's Mojave Desert. Covers Dorr's controversial manuscript, local folklore, the treasure hunters who searched the site, geological possibilities, modern search technologies, and the tragic history of those who sought the Kokoweef treasure.

Kokoweef is a cautionary tale and an enduring mystery wrapped in one—a story of a man who claimed to have found a river of gold deep inside a mountain, backed by a manuscript that may or may not be genuine. This book separates the strands of fact, folklore, and tragedy that make Kokoweef one of the West's most compelling lost treasure stories.
