Rocha, Both Rosecrans and Wilburn wrote manuscripts relating to their theories about the Goldfield area being the location of the LDM. Rosecrans manuscript is called SPANISH GOLD AND THE LOST DUTCHMAN. Wilburns is called the DUTCHMANS LOST LEDGE OF GOLD. Both are available from the SMHS. Wilburn's t...

>>What if Waltz never even met a Peralta?<< This would not surprise me in the least. I have always felt that if the Holmes account is true and Waltz happened upon Mexicans working the LDM, then these Mexicans were likely either peons or miners who knew about the mine (and had worked it in the past) ...

Aurum and Tom, To expand on the questions some: Just what sent Waltz into the Superstitions? Was it meeting up with some Peralta family members or hearing rumor of their activity during the Peeples expedition? Was it hearing about the Green /Edwards discoverys? Or did he simply just bump into some o...

hound dog, It is my understanding that Jake used several camps on Peters Mesa, ranging from an area near the hairpin turn on the Charleyboy trail and then heading NNW towards the southern end of Malapais Mtn and the head of Squaw Canyon. The area is fairly remote, but can be reached from any of the ...

Wiz Get your mind out of the gutter. Bill711, Err...I understand the pulled pork question, but am not terribly sure what the rest of the paragraph was about. Dont bother explaining, I'll figure it out sooner or later..... I generally dont have much interaction with eagles. Some other types of avians...

There is a scene in the film BLACK ROBE (which concerns French Jesuits attempting to convert the Hurons of the Great Lakes in the early 1700s) in which the Jesuit priest hero of the film flagellates himself with some tree branches after having succumbed to his human side after getting himself all wo...

Bill711, What the Penetentes do is real enough, my remark was aimed at historical accuracy. The Romans attached little pieces of lead to the ends of their scouring whips ...called the flagellum in Latin. I was just wondering why the modern day Penetentes did not go for the historical accuracy...and ...

Tom, Actually, the Jacobs manuscript (and I am assuming here that you mean his FIRST manuscript which was relatively coherent and not the 800 page rambling tome he penned in prison) did not just use the Stone Maps to get him up to Squaw and Malapais. Jake took just about every map, clue and story he...

hound dog, Jake spent alot of time searching (and blowing up) the area of Squaw Canyon and the southern end of Malapais Mtn. I do not know the exact locations of his claims, but I believe they are in that vicinity. Jake probably had what he considered good information from various people, but did no...
