O knihe

On June 2, 1977, forty-one high school athletes set sail on a week-long camping excursion down the Black Warrior River to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and begin an amazing fortune-filled adventure that will change their lives forever. In Double Springs, Alabama, it has been a long-held tradition for the future senior class to take a memorable summer trip. When Roland, Randy, and their junior class peers embark on the maiden voyage of their handmade boat, they have no idea they are about to stumble upon a treasure lost during the Civil War by Henry DeBars, an ingenious man who carved his wealth out of the wilderness with the assistance of friendly Native Americans. When a stroke of luck causes the river to expose its hidden treasure to the high school students, their newfound gold and silver riches begin to reveal the worst in some. After the locals get wind that the treasure has been found, danger, kidnapping, and murder surround the students who have no idea of the incredible history behind what they've unearthed. With their young, innocent lives suddenly in peril, one fact is certain-no one in the graduating class of 1978 will ever forget this adventure.
