This collection of tales and traditions from the Southwest includes stories of lost mines stacked with bars of gold, mule loads of silver cached away in outlaw hoards, and fabulous Jesuit treasures buried when that order was expelled from New Spain. Some treasure locations would be rediscovered by chance or by an old map-and somehow always lost again.But not all these folk teasures are of material wealth. There is the story of a nun who loved a soldier and repented, and whose kneeling figure may still be seen as a mountain rock formation. There is the Hermit of Las Vegas, an actual person who, after traveling between Argentina and Quebec, settled in New Mexico, where he became the subject of affectionate legends.

Foreword
This new paperback edition of the late Arthur L. Campa's Treasure of the Sangre de Cristos: Tales and Traditions of the Spanish Southwest, first published in 1963, is, in effect, a brand new book for a new generation of readers interested in stories about buried treasure in the Spanish Southwest. Treasure hunting is an activity of perennial popular interest, and readers will enjoy these tales of exciting searches for buried treasure in the mountain areas of New Mexico, a region along the Rio Grande and north of the Mexican border. All the tales have a remarkable freshness because the author, himself an active participant, made on-the-spot investigations and consulted extensively with local old-timers well informed about the many clues relevant to the sites, some in very remote locations.
The history of buried treasure has fascinated readers about the Spanish Southwest since the first Spanish explorers visited the region early in the sixteenth century. The search for gold was a principal motivation for Spanish explorers who scoured the region, without much success, in the sixteenth century, and off and on throughout the Spanish colonial period. When the United States conquered New

Mexico and the surrounding area, Anglo-Americans moved in and introduced important social and cultural changes, but the Spanish-speaking people residing there remembered the many tales handed down from one generation to another as a part of their Spanish cultural heritage. Among these were stories of buried treasure, and many of these local stories became a part of the folklore of the region.
