Author Name
John LeMay (Author)
John LeMay is from Roswell, New Mexico, and has written over 25 books on Southwest history, cryptozoology, ufology, and cinema history. His best known books include Tall Tales and Half Truths of Billy the Kid, a collection of far-out folklore on the famed desperado; and Jaws Unmade: The Lost Sequels, Prequels, Remakes and Rip-Offs; one of many other books about lost/unmade films by the author. He is also the co-author of the well-received The Real Cowboys and Aliens series with Ufologist Noe Torres, which spotlights UFO sightings from the Old West and early day America. In a similar vein, he is the creator of the Cowboys & Saurians series, which focusses on remnant dinosaurs and cryptids reported in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to these works LeMay has served as President of the Board of Directors for the Historical Society for Southeastern New Mexico in Roswell and has a regular historical column in Vision Magazine. Among magazines to publish his works on film are G-Fan, the world’s longest running “fanzine;” Mad Scientist, covering genre films from the 40s,50s,60s and 70s; Xenorama, a wild and eclectic grab-bag of topics ranging from Godzilla to Kung Fu; and the prestigious Cinema Retro, covering cinema from the 1960s and 1970s. LeMay has been featured on radio programs as prestigious as Coast to Coast A.M., and is a regular guest on podcasts such as Scarycast and Kaiju Transmissions.

For years, the tale of a group of miners who found a hidden canyon of gold only to be massacred by the Apache was legend across the Old West. Initially spread in saloons by the lone survivor known only as Adams, Texas folklorist J.

Frank Dobie later immortalized it for a new generation in his writings. However, Dobie’s tale was a pastiche constructed of the myriad of conflicting accounts of the Lost Adams Diggings, still lost to this day.

Rather than treading the same old ground, this tome corrals the most outlandish minutia to ever pervade the myth of Adams and his lost gold. In the pages ahead, puzzle over tales of Billy the Kid searching for the diggings and even rumors of the Jesse James gang using the canyon as a hideout.

Thrill to visions of Chief Nana’s ghost guarding the gold and undead Apache warriors popping from the ground. Wonder at reports of ancient cliff dwellings embedded in the canyon walls and strange mummified remains nearby.

And lastly, marvel at stories of a supernatural earthquake destroying the diggings when the white man’s lust for gold angered the Apache spirits. .
