The incredible story of the Maine Yankee who discovered the world’s richest half mile of gold in Canada, and the strange and tragic end that befell him.

Geoffrey Bocca’s account of the Oakes case was first published in 1959 by Doubleday, as The Life and Death of Sir Harry Oakes. The cover of Greywood’s paperback edition from 1970 features Fred Lambert’s Sans Stencil for the title.
