I agree with you to an extent. However, <br>some cultures simply didnt write ANYTHING down (Amerindians for example) <br>and whatever tales we have from them pertaining to the Superstitions, whether they be related to caches, lost mines or battles, are today all second- (in some case third or fouth)...

Oral vs Written History
Oops. <br> <br>I am in the middle of doing some source reading on the Apache. I came across the following in I FOUGHT WITH GERONIMO by Jason Betzinez. Betzinez was a youth when his tribal band at San Carlos "volunteered" (actually were forced at gunpoint) to leave San Carlos with renegades...

Gassler may have known just where Pistol Canyon was, but his maps show three different canyons labeled Pistol in his own hand. One on the Peter's side of the north end of Geronimo Head, one where most put it (not far from Squaw) and one on the Peter's side of Peter's Mesa close to where the modern t...

Hiker, <br> <br> When Bill Barkley was close to the end , Jake went and moved him to his trailer, naturally to get any information that he could. Jake had a habit of retrieving the old timers at their end . Another one was Chuck Aylor. I was not there when Bill died , but as I remember , he died sit...

Peter, <br>My understanding is that Gassler spent considerable time on Bluff Springs Mountain, as well. I'm not so sure he was focused on Peters Mesa until after he had connected with Barkley. <br> <br>Ron, <br>Very thought-provoking posting. I never knew about Bill Barkley living with Crazy Jake. H...

Tex Barkley
Much has been said about the relation of Tex and Gassler on this site, I think to the point of giving alot of credence to what Gassler may of known or found. Maybe we should look into Tex abit better. I did not of course know Tex, but I did know Bill Barkley. I conversed with him quite alot, while h...

Squaw Canyon and Pistol Canyon begin at the same point. Only a saddle and small ridge seperate the heads of these two canyons. I was told once by an old timer that a spring ran out of the northwest side of the Peters Dome and watered a large area at the heads of these two canyons. The area was cover...

How do you know that Gassler wasn't correct in labeling what he called Pistol Canyon? In other words, what he refers to as Pistol Canyon in his manuscript doesn't correspond to what everyone else calls Pistol Canyon. <br> <br>Seems like there was another example of this sort of thing in Gassler's ma...

The following is the Gassler/Peck map in a nutshell. I will teach you all how to make your own. <br> <br>1) Get yourself a topo map of the Peters Canyon/Peters Mesa area. <br> <br>2) Pick one of those washes NORTH of Pistol Canyon that branch off of Peters Canyon to the west (anyone will do) and out...
