Description
Hundreds of treasure hunters have scoured the Catskills around Phoenicia, looking for the millions that Prohibition-era gangster Dutch Schultz is said to have stashed somewhere underground. This book tells the story of Schultz, who for a time was the most powerful gangster in America, and of the treasure he is believed to have hidden near Phoenicia before meeting his violent end in a Newark tavern on October 23, 1935. His dying words, recorded by a police stenographer, give tantalizing clues to the location of his vast fortune. The book was also featured on Fox Cable’s “Million Dollar Mysteries.”
