A tale of Aztec treasure--of American adventurers, who seek it--of Zoraida, who hides it. Jim Kendric first sees her in a low border saloon dressed as a man. She sits at play with him and wins his fortune and almost his heart. When she next appears he is her prisoner on her ranch in Mexico, where he has gone on a wild expedition in search of a reputed treasure of the Montezumas hidden in the mountains. Nor does he fail to find the treasure, although he comes to it in ways utterly unexpected and through a rapid series of adventures which reveal the fact that the Aztec race is not yet wholly extinct.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Jackson Gregory (1882 - 1943) was an American teacher, journalist, and writer. Jackson was born in Salinas, California, the son of Monterey county attorney Durrell Stokes Gregory (1825 - 1889) and Amelia (Hartnell) and was educated at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a B.L. in 1906. Jackson began his career as a newspaper reporter in San Francisco. He later served as a principal at a high school in Truckee, where he met his future wife, Lotus McGlashan. They were wed December 20, 1910 and the couple would have two sons. Jackson then became a journalist, working in Illinois, Texas, and New York. When their first son was born in 1917, the family settled in Auburn, California, where Jackson became a prolific writer of western and detective stories. Fifteen years later the couple moved to Pasadena, where they were divorced. Jackson then moved in with his brother Edward, who was living in Auburn. He died there June 12, 1943, while working on a novel titled The Hermit of Thunder King. Jackson Gregory authored more than 40 fiction novels and a number of short stories. Several of his tales were used as the basis of films released between 1916 and 1944, including The Man from Painted Post (1917).
