Jake, my information tells me that Ressler was indeed one
of the Hole-in-the-wall gang. However, his earlier life seems
to be cloudy before he arrived at Kokoweef in the Mohave.
He made his camp near that of Earl Dorr, who was one of
the founders of the infamous "underground river of gold".
I understand that Ressler and Dorr were not too friendly
towards each other, but gold does that to people. I have
been to Ressler's camp, and quite a few artifacts were
found there. Several old coins, some .44 shot that had not been fastened to the shells, and cooking utensils. Some of
the bedding was still there as well. About 40 miles from
this site is an area known as Hole-in-the Wall. I think it is
located in the New York Mtns. in the Mohave. Maybe
someone has history on this? ( I don't think there is a
connection, who knows) Bill
