Best book to get on Victorio Peak?

[autofull]

i bet you can sell them quickly guy. im serious about this, he had the book sets arranged around his bed like covered wagons in a circle. they seem to be his children and he cannot part with them. kinda sad i guess. he has no one in his life but he has made it that way.

It's a shame the author doesn't put them up on the Internet for sale. I'm very happy to have a set - an astonishing amount of work and research. Must have cost thousands of dollars to print all those hardcovers. I'm buy another set or two if I could.

Good luck to all,

i know what ya mean. he just will not sell them. he gave away about ten sets to my friends who did him some favors while he was here. he told me what it cost to print them and i cannot believe he has only social security as an income. he treats the boxed sets like they are his children. he can put all his earthly owned items in a 6x6 square. i just do not get it but of course there is way more to him that i learned about, and it is not very nice stuff, in the year he lived in my home with my wife and i. i have three no2 and one no3 volumes here without a home. send me a private mail or email me at krhmacgyver@aol.com. perhaps ya want them.

Hey Kevin,

Last time I spoke with him, his health was getting bad, and he planned on moving to the Northeast to be near family.

He was planning on selling the remainder of his stock. If I remember correctly, he had about 300 sets (or maybe it was 100 sets of 3). I think he was planning on selling them via a website I was going to build, but I haven't heard from him in many months. I'll try and get ahold of him and see what is going on. I believe he wanted to do the website, so he could sell them all quickly and see some actual income, instead of piecemealing them one set at a time.

Okay,

Just talked to John. Still planning on selling the rest of his 400 or so autographed sets of Gold House Books. We will also be posting scans of all the documents referenced in the books. A bit of a project, but nothing too monumental.

..........also another VP Book with all new info I will have to preread before saying anything.

Last time I saw John he was with the Tesoro de alma scheme. That alone will drive you to drink. Hope he is doing well best of luck. They are good books, from one side of the story.

Ha ha - all new info, eh? The old info didn't wash? Actually, Book 1 is the most eye-opening VP source available, IMO. The documents and testimony reveal what an untrustable grifter Noss truly was.

Actually, you have no idea. It is more of a companion to Book# 2. Its about what happened to the gold after it left the peak. How about a tape recorded phone conversation of Fred Drolte getting *****ed at by LBJ that the gold had taken too long to go from White Sands to his ranch? Just a tidbit for yall.

Reading these most recent postings makes me glad that I purchased the Trilogy when it first came out. I am saddened by what has been written about John Clarence. I didn't know that his Trilogy was self published, I would have thought that any publishing house would have been glad to be standing behind John's endeavor. I hope his life becomes better. His Trilogy is an important historical testimony that 99% of Americans know NOTHING about.

Seems to me that John was working on a book with the original documents he found to be included. I remember e-mailing him and, I think, that it should have been available in 2016....I never followed up.

Mike, who made the Drolte recording you alluded to? I thought that Drolte was a person that John was unable to speak to. Can you or John give us a listen? Or a verbatim written account?

Also, your website: 1ORO1.COM, goes to an Asian gambling site.

Well, how about such a recording? We all would like to hear good old LBJ's voice. I guess one might argue that Drolte was more trustworthy than Noss, but I still wouldn't have asked him for change for a dollar.

I've seen the first book on Amazon priced at $200 or more but then the Kindle editions are only $10. Pretty huge price difference.

I assume the Kindle versions don't include scanned source docs or pics ?

Here's a Book 1 hardcopy that's still pricey ($45), but likely an acceptable cost for someone who really wants it. I've had mixed results with Kindle versions of some books - don't know about this one.

He's got that and a ton more.

Yeah, I dont know who to distrust more! "Lyin' Lyndon" or "The One-Armed Bandit"! HAHAHA

Mike

EDIT:

Dont buy anything online yet. I have gotten him to sell the remaining autographed sets (about 400) for around $40-$50 per set (not per book). Stay tuned for details.

Never met him face to face. We have always talked on the phone and via emails. I met him through Tom Whittle and Alex Alonso while he was still working on the Gold House Trilogy. He told me he was back in NM. Whatever the horror stories are, I am strictly business. Help him sell books and get the documentation referenced posted. Period.

HAHAHA Rare indeed! I have been called many things by many people, but this is the first "RARE"! Thank You! I guess better rare than extinct!

I was Navy and Army. Although I did spend ONE DAY in the Marine Corps, but thats a long story. Funny as hell, but long.
