The Trail Adventures

The Trail Adventures is a reprint of two rare books by the author, A. Hyatt Verrill, originally published 1918. Two boys arrive in Panama and organize a Boy Scout troop, they go on a camping trip up the ancient Spanish trail known as the "Gold Road" and meet with mysterious adventures which result in their obtaining an ancient map showing the way to the long lost and fabulously rich Tisingal mine. But Fate had decreed that Fred and Rob meet with still more astounding experiences and, on a trip through Costa Rica in company with a scientist, Mr. Grayson, the party is captured by savage Indians, escape and stumble upon the long-lost mines. Finding their way back to civilization, they learn that in order to take over the mine, they must obtain certain papers from a man named Cabral and who, Mr. Grayson believes, is somewhere in Colombia. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Grayson sail from Colon with the two boys who are the owners of what was reputed to be the richest of all the old Spanish mines in the New World.
