Using a makeshift stamping mill fashioned from a Mexican War cannon, master engraver and Mormon Bishop Samuel Woodbury hammered out a treasury for Brigham Young in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains &#8212; more than 3,000 gold coins. However, none of them were ever spent.<br \/>\nOn a cold autumn day in 1862, Bishop Woodbury disappeared with Brigham Young&#8217;s Treasury of Deseret while enroute to Salt Lake City. Some say Woodbury absconded with the treasure to California. Others say he was a Confederate sympathizer and the Mormon gold ended up in the coffers of the Richmond government where it helped fund the slaughter of the Civil War. Still others say Woodbury was murdered and the treasure stolen.<br \/>\nOver the years, the legend of Brigham\u2019s Bees lured many a fortune seeker into its dark secrets. And one by one, those connected with the treasure died.<br \/>\nMore than a century later, with the legend of Brigham&#8217;s Bees long faded into the stuff of campfire tales, someone is still killing for the secret of Bishop Woodbury. On a black night in Payson Canyon, Deputy Sheriff Brent Merrell and his K-9 partner, Gadianton, narrowly avoid becoming victims of the mysterious legend.<br \/>\nArmed with a single battered coin he finds hanging from a tree in the canyon, Brent digs deep into the mysterious legend of Samuel Woodbury. Each move puts him closer to the missing treasure and closer to an untimely death.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>Product Details:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>LIST PRICE: <strong>$13.95<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>228 pages<\/li>\n<li>6&#8243; x 9&#8243; (15.24 x 22.86 cm)<\/li>\n<li>Black &amp; White on Creme paper<\/li>\n<li>ISBN-13: 978-1481898768\u00a0\u00a0 ISBN-10: 1481898760<\/li>\n<li>BISAC: Fiction \/ Mystery &amp; Detective \/ Historical<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>PREVIEW:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>THE FIRST CHAPTER (and PROLOGUE) by clicking <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmichaelperry.com\/zionbookworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/BrighamsBeesCHAPTER-ONE-PREVIEW.pdf\">Brigham&#8217;sBeesCHAPTER ONE PREVIEW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>Review:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Compelling, Entertaining and Surprising<\/strong><br \/>\n<em> by Gerald S. Argetsinger<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;Robert Kirby is well known for his regular column in the Salt Lake Tribune where he offers sage advice with an off-beat humorous twist. I&#8217;m happy to say that the man can also write a taught, entertaining mystery fully of lost treasure and unexpected murders peppered with the wit we know him for. Brigham&#8217;s Bees are lost gold coins minted under the direction of Brigham Young that became just another ghost story of the wild American west. But when the body count starts to mount up and the only connection seems to be one of the lost coins, Deputy Brent Merrell puts more than his life on the line to solve the mystery. From the canyons of Southern Utah to a modern day polygamist, and even a Mormon Apostle, the clues just don&#8217;t add up. But everything comes together for a very satisfying ending. This first novel will be enjoyed by lovers of mysteries, stories of the west, and even Utah Mormons.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>Where to Buy<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy the Internet Special from<em><strong> Zion BookWorks<\/strong><\/em> through our PayPal Shopping Cart (<strong><strong>$12.95<\/strong> + $3.99 s&amp;h + <\/strong>Maine sales tax<strong>) <\/strong>Click on the <em>Add To Cart<\/em> button below<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"paypal\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"KJRYG8AT8922G\" \/><br \/>\n<input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_cart_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>KINDLE<\/strong><\/em> version available <a title=\"Brigham's Bees on Kindle\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00B5HNIGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a> for <strong>$6.99<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong>Bookstores and Resellers<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>If you are a <strong>bookstore<\/strong> or other <strong>reseller<\/strong> and wish to carry this title, or special order a copy for a special customer, contact us by <a href=\"mailto:cmichaelperry53@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>email<\/strong><\/a> for a quote on Library and wholesale prices.
