Maynard Cornett Adams

author

Citadel Mountain I, Citadel Mountain II, & Citadel Mountain III

Maynard Adams was born near Whitesburg, in eastern Kentucky. He graduated from Jenkins High School and attended Morehead State College. After graduating from Coyne Electrical School in Chicago, he moved to Texas.

For the last thirty years, Maynard has lived in Colorado and hunted in the San Juan region of the southern Rocky Mountains. Having heard many stories of early trappers and gold miners, he began extensive research on Treasure Mountain and the Frenchmen who explored the area. Over the last fifteen years he has obtained information from France, Spain, Canada, Louisiana, Texas, and New Mexico. Mr. Adams is now working on a fourth book, La Ventana (The Window), 1687-1770, a historical novel beginning with LaSalle's Expedition to Texas.
