Abstract

"Treasures of lost ships buried under the shifting sands of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers will be sought by Elmore Ellsworth Wenner, who has spent a quarter of a century gathering information as to their location and possibility of recovery. In the skeletons of these treasure ships Wenner believes still remain quantities of the cargoes of priceless pelts, gold, silver, quicksilver and other merchandise, the value of which government reports indicate to approximate fifty million dollars."
