Gentlemen,
At the Rendezvous I was asked about my new book, when it would be out and what is it going to be on. I very much appreciate the interest and support. Finally the proofs have arrived and the book should be out in a few weeks. The title is “Treasure Tales of the Superstitions”.
It is a collection of the various tales, stories and accounts from Simon Novinger to the Two Soldiers to Indian stories to much lesser known ones. The format is to tell the tales, and if there is more than one version to compare the different accounts and then compare the accounts to the known history.--included are brief biographical accounts on the participants where possible.
There is a chapter on clues listed by source, e.g., Bicknell, Bark, etc., there are maps of: clues, reputed sightings of Waltz, lost mine/treasure maps, etc. The clues chapter has about 350 clues. Some are variations of other clues, some well known, some not. The last section of the book is Twice Told Tales, which is a fictional account of the first 24 hrs. of Len and I in the mountains discussing the mine. Included in this part are accounts from other Dutch Hunters that I have known, such as Al Reser, Gerry Hamrick and Bob Crandall – the accounts from these friends include not just Dutch Hunting, but also some of their encounters with others and different adventures, such as Bob Crandall’s encounter with Howard Hughes.
I appreciate the patience and the help that has been so generously offered by so many including, but by no means limited to Jack Carlson, Greg Davis, Shelly at Guidon, Bob Corbin, Tom Kollenborn, to the historical societies from Baltimore, MD to Texas (state and Castroville), to colleagues in Weaverville, CA. to angels at the National Archives, the Arizona State Archives, the California State Archives, and on and on. The amount of work that people I have never met have done to help is mind boggling, such as the woman at the New Jersey State archives who helped track do the record of Jim Bark’s birth. The record was poorly written and it had be written over, but she persisted and was able to untangle it all.
Once I know a release date I will post.
I thank you for your interest
