Camp McKinney Jimmy introduces his memoir Chasing Stolen Gold, a treasure hunter’s adventure to locate the lost gold bars of Camp McKinney, east of Osoyoos, British Columbia. The robbery occurred in the summer of 1896. The amount of bullion taken forced the bandit to hide the two larger bars in the forest. When Mathew Roderick returned three months later to retrieve the bars, he was shot dead in a bungled attempt to follow him to the treasure. The gold bars whereabouts remained unknown, until now. The highly illustrated book comes complete with a detailed treasure map.

I received this book for Christmas and once I started reading it I could barely put it down. It felt like I was immersed in the adventure and chasing stolen gold right along side of Camp Jimmy. His passion and hard work is clearly evident in his eloquent writings and portrayal of all the various characters, who he brings to life in his writings. Through his exhaustive and tireless historical research he paints a very vivid picture of the people, places, things and the time period involved in his quest to solve the mystery of the stolen gold bars. A thoroughly enjoyable and exciting read and I really appreciated all the photo’s and historical references and descriptions of the various time periods. An awesome book well worth the price.
Thanks for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. CMJ
