When Forest Fenn was told he was going to die, he hid a chest full of jewels and gold in the wilderness and published a poem that contained a series of clues about the treasure's secret location. But he didn't die, and he wouldn't reveal the location. The wild hunt went on for another ten years. 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 possibly dead-end 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Treasure hunt (Game) $z United States. 600 10 $a Fenn, Forrest. 650 0 $a Outdoor recreation $z United States. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240809015311.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20210907010055.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210818010450.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210625010120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9ABC62E0D57A11EBB1025BD44AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
