What was supposed to be a week of summer fun in San Antonio, Texas, for high school seniors Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McRae soon turns into another deep dive into forgotten American lore—and clues to a lost treasure! By now, it’s instinct: Ben plans. Porter charges. Latch fixes what breaks. At an auction house in San Antonio, they come across an antique powder horn from the Texas Revolution covered in strange scrimshaw symbols. These point to frontiersman and Alamo defender Jim Bowie. Better yet, they may be a clue to a hoard of treasure hidden by the pirate Jean Lafitte.

Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McRae couldn’t be more different. Ben is a home-schooled brainiac. Porter is the starting quarterback for the Ridgeport Raiders, and Latch is a grease-smudged prodigy who never saw an engine he couldn’t take apart and set to purring. Yet the three have been friends forever, drawn together by a shared passion: treasure hunting for the forgotten loot of American history.

High school seniors Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McRae search for treasure that American history leaves behind. Ben masterminds the plan. Porter brings the guts and humor. Latch McRae supplies the gumption and tools. Now a many times great-grandson of American patriot Samuel Adams asks them to look into a new claim that the Boston Tea Party wasn’t about British tyranny and no taxation without representation, but was Sam Adams’ scheme to steal the tea and make himself rich. If Adams was a thief, America’s origin story cracks wide open.
