Minneapolis Is Missing?

Adam Dumphy’s  early years in San Diego , Ca, included service in the Navy of WW II and a treasure hunt in Mexico in which he learned of the Beale.

Undoubtedly the most genuine treasure in history, the Beale is verified by newspaper accounts, private letters, even his name on Pawnee Rock, Kansas . It has fascinated people of every age, trade and profession. It has spawned clubs, research from every profession and even support groups for the faint hearted.

In the 1819 era T.J. Beale returned from New Mexico with treasure in silver, gold and jewels. He buried it near Buford , VA and left a box with three manuscripts to tell of its presence. Linguists, cryptographers and even the Navy’s famous purple box have been unable to decipher all but one.

With this Dumphy was able to concoct a lighthearted quest about a treasure hunt in the ‘40s with people and background of San Diego . The Beale remains as ever elusive but the characters do discover why ‘ Minneapolis Is Missing’.
