If you've ever Googled "LUE map" at 2am and emerged four hours later with seventeen browser tabs open and more questions than you started with, congratulations, you've done exactly what every treasure hunter before you has done. The difference is Randy Bradford actually organized it all into something coherent.
Randy didn't just read about the LUE. He researched it the way it deserves to be researched. We're talking uncountable hours buried in archives, deep dives into obscure libraries most people don't know exist, and the kind of investigative legwork that would make a private detective tired. He's tracked down key players in the mystery, and when those people couldn't be found, he tracked down their families, preserving research and firsthand accounts that would have vanished entirely if Randy hadn't gone looking. The man has poured years of his life into piecing this puzzle together, and The Lue: Map, Treasure and Mystery is the result.
This is the most thorough examination of the LUE map in print, period. This isn't a post on some forum that got printed out and spiral-bound. This is some of the best investigative treasure research you will find.
Whether you think the LUE points to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, or Karl's overactive imagination, this book gives you the foundation you need to form your own informed opinion instead of just arguing on the internet, which you're still going to do anyway, but at least now you'll argue better.
Fair warning: this book will not make the LUE less confusing. It will make you more informed about why it's confusing.
