Dr. Gloverâs new book, âThe Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Unraveling a Mysteryâ, is available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Dutchma...gateway&sprefix=lost+dutchman,aps,306&sr=8-13
Quantities are limited in this first printing.
The cover artwork is very similar to his first book, âThe Lost Dutchman Mine: Part 1, The Golden Dreamâ, so make sure if youâre ordering that itâs âUnraveling a Mysteryâ and not âPart 1, the Golden Dreamâ.
Content Review:
30-plus years of research and field work are apparent in Dr. Gloverâs fourth and final book on the Dutchman. He tracked down and discusses Waltzâs mining partner Jacob Weiss(er), his sudden (documented) death in 1867, Weissâs brother Nicholas, and their farm in Arizona. Thereâs detail about Waltzâs life and activities in CA, and more on the Peralta family and their involvement. Dr. Glover also revisits the Dutchman ore analysis he took part in years ago; revealing new details about the ore composition that at the time, were not released to the public.
Dr. Oertel, continuing his research into Waltzâs life and family in Germany, makes an updated appearance which will leave no doubt as to who Jacob Waltz really was, his educational background, and how he got from Germany to America. Dr. Glover visits Waltzâs family farm in Germany, and makes some interesting discoveries along the way.
Dr. Glover then makes a detailed study of Waltzâs time in the Bradshaws, his mining activity and the people involved, and finally the people and events that led up to Waltz departing the area to live in what would become Phoenix. In this portion, Dr. Glover reveals connections that could answer the question of why Waltz moved to the Salt River Valley and why he located on a portion of school land instead of claiming 160 acres under the Homestead Act. Spoiler alert: The Stararâs and another early German settler are involved.
In the latter part of the book, Dr. Glover studies Waltzâs later life in detail, including a very good investigation into the shooting of Pedro Ortega at Waltzâs house. He also takes a detailed look at what Waltz was doing on his property, and how others may have taken advantage of Waltzâs situation, in the years and months leading up to the devastating flood of 1891 that ruined Waltzâs life on his small piece of remaining land.
Like his other works on the subject, Dr. Glover provides detailed and accurate footnotes and endnotes for all his sources, something perhaps weâve all gotten used to, but was relatively rare in the field when he came along with his first book 21 years ago.
