Third entry in an all-new series where the high school age male heroes are smart, tough, and resourceful--and hunting treasure from American history's secret past is the greatest game of all.
Remember the Alamo--And Its Secret Treasure!
What was supposed to be a week of summer fun in San Antonio, Texas, for high school seniors Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McRae soon turns into another deep dive into forgotten American lore--and clues to a lost treasure! By now, it's instinct: Ben plans. Porter charges. Latch fixes what breaks.
At an auction house in San Antonio, they come across an antique powder horn from the Texas Revolution covered in strange scrimshaw symbols. These point to frontiersman and Alamo defender Jim Bowie. Better yet, they may be a clue to a hoard of treasure hidden by the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte.
The hunters track the bounty and along the way are joined by unlikely allies: a country singer with a museum-quality collection of Texas lore, and an intense historical reenactor who wants to see the Lone Star State secede, and the flag of the Republic of Texas wave once more.
Opposing the hunters is naysaying podcast host Domingo Cos, a descendant of General Santa Ana and a hater of all things Texan. Cos is determined to make sure people despise the heroes of the Alamo as much as he does.
Every clue draws the hunters deeper into a maze of swashbuckling secrets and Lone Star legends, where the past isn't past and the stakes are pure gold. Remember the Alamo--or lose the treasure!
The American Treasure Hunters series is packed with adventure, mystery, and action as modern-day high school seniors Ben, Porter, and Latch search for lost treasure from America's hidden past.
