"Heinrich Schliemann: Discoverer of Buried "(First Edition + First Printing) George Selden - 1964
 
George Selden transforms a historical biography into a high-stakes archaeological detective story, following one man's obsessive quest to prove that the "mythical" city of Troy was a real place. By treating Homer’s ancient poetry as a literal treasure map, the narrative tracks the transition from skepticism to the monumental moment of unearthing a massive hoard of gold and jewels buried for millennia. Enhanced by Lorence F. Bjorklund’s vivid illustrations, the book highlights the grit and discovery involved in digging up lost civilizations, making it a definitive mid-century account of history's most famous treasure hunt.
