Crooked Mountain is a story of mystery and intrigue in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. It's based on facts of the famed Lost Dutchman Mine and the millions in gold purported to be hidden in a cave in the desert of this isolated area. Many people have died looking for it if it even exists, but the legend lives on.

Great read! Good writing and fascinating perspective on a legend that is well known in the Arizona area.

The thing to understand about Ron Feldman is that he is one of the greatest living authorities on the Lost Dutchman Mine. So, when he writes a story like Crooked Mountain, you really have to read between the lines a bit to fully appreciate what he is saying. While it stands on it's own as a great story, Dutch Hunters will find added value in Ron's theories and insights to one of Histories enduring mysteries.
