Daniel Barbarisi

4.9/5 (23431 ratings)

Description:A full-throttle, first-person account of the treasure hunt set in motion by Forrest Fenn—an eccentric, millionaire art dealer and, some would say, robber baron—in 2010 that became the stuff of contemporary legend.When Forrest Fenn was told he was going to die, he came up with a plan to hide a chest full of jewels and gold in the wilderness, and publish a poem that would serve as a map leading to the treasure's secret location. But he didn't die, and Fenn instead presided over a decade-long gold rush that saw many thousands of treasure hunters scrambling across the Rocky Mountains in pursuit of his fortune.Daniel Barbarisi first learned of Fenn's hunt in 2017 when a friend began decoding the poem and convinced Barbarisi to catalogue his search. What began as a great story documenting the history of Fenn's treasure hunt—the rumors, characters, and pitfalls—quickly turned into a personal quest, as Barbarisi found himself on a sometimes reckless and potentially dangerous path, despite having a family at home. Over the course of the next three years, several searchers would die, endless controversies would erupt, and one anonymous unknown would find the ultimate prize.Rich with mystery, danger, and break-neck action, Barbarisi's account of the imagination and drive of desire, of obsession, and of a particularly unbridled adventure is pure gold on the page.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
