One of the biggest treasures thought still to be hidden in America is the shipment of the Mexican treasury just before Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico was executed by a Mexican nationalist firing squad. He sent his wife ahead early to Europe to receive the entire treasure, but neither he, nor the treasure ever made it. Six Missourians hired to assist the Austrian Guards in taking a 15-wagon team train in which the treasure was disguised as flour barrels from Mexico through West Texas to the port of Galveston, killed the wagon masters somewhere between Horsehead Crossing over the Pecos River and Castle Gap, a deep cut "V" between Castle Mountain and King Mountain. Estimates of the value of the treasure continue to escalate over time as the gold, silver, minted coins, metal plate, and jewels achieve greater historical value, not to mention the intrinsic price increases of the gold and silver. This historical fiction is based on fact. The treasure has never been found. The last estimated worth was over $10,000,000. I now estimate the value to be at least $200,000,000, although it could be considered priceless for its historic value. Only one man survived the trip after he and his six friends shot the entire wagon master crew, and then were killed by a marauding Comanche band themselves. He made it to Fort Concho, but was barely alive. As he lay dying, he drew a map of the Castle Gap area with markers of where the treasure was buried and gave it to Doctor Black, an appropriate name for the occasion. Dr. Black got together with a friend several months later and set out to find the buried treasure. They had not counted on the rapidly shifting dirt and sand, or the rapid degeneration of vegetation from the raw powerful gusts of West Texas storms. They never found the treasure. Countless legal and illegal parties blasted holes at night with dynamite on a ranchers property, and then tried to find the treasure by day, have searched over the past 150 years plus, but failed. Emperor Maximilian lost his life, Carlota, his empress went mad. The treasure sits somewhere laughing at the world.

Few historical figures are as inextricably linked as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. But less than two decades before they faced each other as enemies at Appomattox, they had been brothers--both West Point graduates, both wearing blue, and both fighting in the same cadre in the Mexican War. They were not alone: Sherman, Davis, Jackson-nearly all of the Civil War's greatest soldiers had been forged in the heat of Vera Cruz and Monterrey. The Mexican War has faded from our national memory, but it was a struggle of enormous significance: the first U.S. war waged on foreign soil; and it nearly doubled our nation. At this fascinating juncture of American history, a group of young men came together to fight as friends, only years later to fight as enemies. This is their story. Full of dramatic battles, daring rescues, secret missions, soaring triumphs and tragic losses, THE TRAINING GROUND is history at its finest.

When Mexico gained her independence from Spain in 1821, she extended an invitation to Americans to settle in her northern province of Texas. By 1830 with more than 20,000 Americans there, friction arose when the Mexicans attempted to halt further immigration, free the Negro slaves, and refuse self-government to the province. The Texans rebelled in 1836 and the Mexicans marched in and won a bloody victory at the Alamo. What happened after the Alamo when the United States declared war on Mexico is one of the most significant chapters in the story of the growth of the American nation. The author has captured the color, vitality and lusty frontier spirit which gave shape and sustenance to the men, the ideas and the deeds of that era and that war.
