Buffalo Bill Cody & the Legendary Iron Door Mine Treasure
"The Canyon of Gold, Buffalo Bill Cody & the Legendary Iron Door Mine Treasure," is written as an autobiography by William "Flint" Carter, also known as The General.
This book is a Collector's Edition. William "Flint" Carter passed away in December 2018. Several years before his death in 2018, Flint Carter released "The Canyon of Gold, Buffalo Bill Cody, and the Legendary Iron Door Mine Treasure," where he describes his version of the legend that has intrigued treasure hunters for centuries.
For nearly four decades, Carter also mined rare jewelry-grade gold and silver in quartz minerals exclusively from the Catalina Mountains called "Cody Stone," named after the famous world-wide entertainer "Buffalo Bill" Cody who owned a gold mine in the Santa Catalinas called Campo Bonito.
William "Flint" Thomas Carter, also called The General, was a seasoned prospector who had dozens of mining claims in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona. After forty years, Flint knew all about the mountains, its legends (like the Iron Door Mine), and its precious minerals (like Cody Stone).
Flint was co-organizer, and founder, of the annual Buffalo Bill Cody Days in Oracle. The event began in 2016. After Flint's death, Robert Zucker continued the event in 2019 and 2020. Because of the pandemic, the 6th annual event was not presented in 2021.
