Fact? Fiction? Legend? Myth? Much controversy surrounds the tales of the Ute Indian gold mines and those charged with keeping their secrets. Many have sought in vain to find these treasures. Many have died trying. The author weaves the stories of these sacred mines, secreted in the mountains of Eastern Utah, along with Ute Indian history, into the story of a young doctor who is chosen to be The Last Keeper of Carre-Shinob - purportedly the largest repository of processed gold in the America's. Doctor Joshua Stone and his wife Susan try to establish a new medical practice on the Ute Indian reservation. Befriended by an old Indian, Tomas Longhair, they are taught the history and ways of the Ute Indians and become immersed in a story of intrigue and even murder in a quest for the riches of the Ute Indians. During this story, the author takes us to the five secret mines historically associated with the Ute Tribe, then he unfolds the vast riches of Carre-Shinob. Fact? Fiction? Legend? Myth? History suggests - maybe - fact within this fiction.

The era in which man soared into the heavens in search of himself and set himself apart from the world below. Today flying is commonplace. The average person can take a flight on an airliner for business or pleasure without a second thought of the sacrifices made in aviation. The aviator in the open cockpit biplane straining to see through the grease stained goggles looking for a field below has disappeared. His knowledge that man was not meant to fly was overcome by the fact that he is alone soaring with the eagles.
