“The Lost Gold of Chautauqua: The Treasure of the Future Lies in the Mystery of the Past”
by T.F. Herr, a Chautauqua County resident, is the latest book release from NFB Publishing of Buffalo.

For more than two centuries, whispers of lost gold have haunted the rugged depths of Chautauqua Creek Gorge. In the turmoil of the French and Indian War, a military payroll vanished into the wilderness — and into legend.

When George Evans IV discovers a 200-year-old journal penned by his own ancestor, he becomes the heir to a mystery that has shadowed the Button-Evans family for generations. George decides to retrace the footsteps laid centuries before. The quest for the legendary cache of gold resolves the Button-Evans family legacy and reveals an ancient secret!

Herr holds an M.A. in Biology and a B.S. in Biology Education, blending scientific rigor with a storyteller’s imagination. His background in research shapes the way he approaches fiction, allowing him to craft vivid, thoughtful interpretations of historical events and enduring regional legends.

When he isn’t writing, the author can often be found exploring the natural world — observing wildlife, hiking through forests, and drawing inspiration from the landscapes that fuel his curiosity and creativity.
