Despite the reality that this is a true story, numerous times you will ask yourself how Walter E Scott, better known as Scotty, could continually live a life of deception in the way he presented himself to the public.  Rare in character and bold in pursuit, his deceptive schemes would afford him thousands of dollars on a Peerless Mine that never existed but attracted the attention of wealthy businessmen.You might say Scotty was determined to live in the moment of all the riches he accrued while liberally giving away huge amounts of money and gaining increasing popularity.  The higher up you are however the harder you fall and the deception would be revealed in the courtroom.It is not an ending you would expect however as wealthy Albert M. Johnson found the friendship and adventure in Scotty refreshing to him.  Johnson, a Christian man may have met the provision of God in ways money could not buy through Scotty.  So true is it that good friendship and companionship cannot be set to a price tag.  Though ironic to many how the very wealthy can find a common thread with the very poor, truth is that we all long to laugh unabandonedly and to leave the worry and stresses of life behind if even for a brief period.A castle that remains today to tourists in Death Valley is far more than a gigantic structure.  It is an embodiment of truth that when we all strip off our masks and become who we are to the core, that we can find ourselves in union with others that defy typical stereotypes.In creative written form, allow award winning author Robert Carter to take you away to an adventure you will never forget.  You may temporarily lose yourself but come away thoroughly satisfied with the mission.  Amaze yourself how situations in life can turn into manifold blessings yet to be realized.I highly recommend this book along with the other great works from Robert Carter.
