The Skull

Gentlemen, I have not followed the Forum for some time. Too much else going on with the new books. The other day, however, a colleague who is giving a radio presentation about the Dutchman in Europe asked me for some information. One of his queries I could not answer concerned the story of the skull...

Joe, No that isn’t what I was looking for, but, thanks for trying—I realize it is a most esoteric query. However, with the help of the law library at the capitol I have the answer, many thanks to them, especially Mr. Sepulveda. Thought I would pass along this tiny tidbit of information that probably...

School Land

Waltz lived on Section 16 (T1N, R3E), which is commonly referred to as “School Land” since sections 16 and 36 were set aside as “School Lands”. As such it seems they could not be claimed under the Homestead Act of 1863 (’62?). I have confirmed that this is the case, but I am puzzled when I read the ...

The Golden Dream

This year I had the luxury of spending two plus months in Arizona. This gave me time to attend part of the Rendezvous and talk with people. Afterwards I was laid low by a rather nasty virus for a good part of the time; however, I did manage to visit with some friends and talk to people in the book b...

Depression of 1893

Bicknell’s articles concerning the Lost Dutchman were written between 1894 and 1895. As Joe has noted Bicknell knew the Superstitions years before Waltz’s death. His article “Superstition Mountains, Old Myths and Legends Dispelled” appeared in the Arizona Daily Gazette August 10th 1886. Bicknell’s a...
