Apacheria is an antiquated term referring to the lands inhabited-and often ruled-by the Apache in the 19th Century. It spanned portions of Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Within Apacheria once existed a golden triangle extending from Silver City and Grants in New Mexico to Alpine, Arizona. Somewhere in this nebulous triangle existed the Lost Adams Diggings, an enchanted canyon that cried tears of gold. As such, any gold strike in the region was often attributed to the lost diggings. And, to the chagrin of the Apache, gold-hungry prospectors ravaged their lands in search of the precious ore. In the pages ahead are tales of Apache warriors who killed miners with golden bullets, a phantom mountain haunted by a hairy giant, lakes of gold frequented by the Navajo, a Masonic Apache brotherhood guarding their Golden Mountain, plus the secret treasure caches of the great Apache warriors Geronimo, Juh, and Mangas Coloradas among many others.
