Lost Mines of Horns Peak Tale of a Brother
A man searches Wet Mountain Valley Colorado for his missing brother George who left Illinois in 1800 after claiming a rich mine. A wallet and diary reveal the mine’s location, but a deadly snowslide and years of shifting slopes erase the cabin and hide the gold, ending with George buried near the mine and no recoverable treasure.
