S.E. Swapp

Check out Clevenger Gold Book Video Trailer: https://vimeo.com/313436151 I was born 150 years too late to fully realize my passion. I must say that I am infatuated with the 1800s, particularly the West and the allures that drew so many people to drastic measures of unforeseen survival challenges and hopes for riches to find their version of true freedom. I grew up in Southern Utah, 20 miles from Kanab, Utah on a ranch surrounded by Anasazi ruins and flush with artifacts. My parents, sister, brother, and I were weekend archaeologist in our own front yard. Unfound Spanish bullion and cowboy era treasure interests were influenced by our parents. This became my religion, stemmed from a perfect childhood of searching out and trying my best to understand the intriguing stories of the past. My lifetime of digging in the red dirt of Utah, Arizona and the rich dirt of Nevada has now evolved from under my fingernails to translating the stories for the world to enjoy what intrigues this old soul of mine.
