John A. Busterud was a young 1st Lieutenant in the 90th Infantry Division in Europe during World War II, who helped to supervise the guarding, tallying and removal of the gold, silver and priceless art treasures which his division found deep underground when it overran the little town of Merkers, Germany and captured the Kaiseroda salt mine on Easter Weekend in 1945. During the author's ten day assignment at the mine he had the opportunity to meet and talk with Generals Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton, as well as nine other general officers who visited the Merkers mine. Busterud is a retired Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserve. He is a past president of the Commonwealth Club of California, and a former California State Assemblyman. He also served as Chairman of the President's Council on Environmental Quality and as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. The author is an attorney and presently resides in Palo Alto, California.
