As many are getting really hard to find i worry no one is digitizing them and I was wondering if anyone has ever made a catalog or liat of important and hard-to-find books or maybe we could start one on here.
 
Back in the 70s and 80s K.B. Slocum was a treasure book dealer who put out a catalog of books. If you can find one of these catalogs it would be a pretty decent snapshot of the titles available at the time.

I have both definitely the top of the list, I'm trying to also find out more about the authors like Frank Fish, Thomas P. Terry, F.L. Coffman, Hardrock Hendricks, Apache Jim, etc I'm sure there's more names I need to know.
 
Neo please keep us posted
 
Will do

BTW They never tell you when they have been found and removed. LOL Ran one down and found out it was excavated in 1912, by an "Archioligest" from the University of Tucson. Also found "Lost Yuma's Gold" in the Gallerros in Arizona. The Vien has claims from one ridge, across the valley, and up the other ridge. It is all Wilderness Area now days.

Hello Carl, I'm still alive and may start looking again, but my knees are complaining a lot now days.

Hello. I'm glad you asked that question. for the last few years I have been collecting the info and putting it together as a list/index of what I can find. should have it finished by the end of next year. if you are looking for a particular book/author let me know.
