The Phantom Miner
I can still remember the story my grandfather used to tell me on a stormy night at bedtime. When he tucked me in I would pull the covers over my head and close my eyes shake like a leaf and pray for daylight to arrive soon. What a story he could tell. Now that I'm all grown up, I feel I should share it with the rest of the scary story fans. This story dates back to the mid-1800s around the Gold Rush days when everyone had gold fever running through their veins. The town where it all happened was a little town called Clantondale and Tom Barkley had the gold fever like no one else. He didn't have many friends or even a pretty lady to keep him company. All Tom thought about was striking it rich...

The scope of the book ranges from capital for entrepreneurs who have little more than an idea, to capital for top rated companies.
