Where did these clues come from? Do we have a chain they passed through before making it to us? Just trying to validate everything to origination. Thanks. I haven’t see this written like this before so either they are earlier than what I’ve seen or later. Really appreciate your help and openness.
IrishMik,
Those are the first clues, that I find. Many clues out there. It’s for you to wade the waters 🥴👍
- The release varies… the article by Bicknell was Jan of 1895. It followed another article of his, where he thought he had solved it.
- As waltz was trying to recover after the flood, he was being cared for by Julia. The abbreviated story is that Waltz decided to give his mine to Julia. He spent some months discussing it with her, and also Rhiney.
- All 3 spoke German and did at times.
- Waltz was trying to get them the directions to his mine. Amongst other information, Waltz had Julia memorize the directions from Peralta, the monumented trail.
Then you have the directions from the Holmes Manuscript.
- the release was decades later.
- back when Waltz was actually dying, gasping for breath, Julia went to find the doctor, and she saw Dick Holmes and Gideon Roberts. She asked them to go in and stay with Waltz while she got the doctor.
- while Julia was out, is when Waltz gave Holmes information.
The Waltz map looks to have been made by Waltz, for his own use. 🤷🏼♂️
- the release date is unknown to me. I don’t know how or by what path.
That’s transfer of information, (early clues).
There have been subsequent transfers of information after Waltz died.
- the article
The info is passed from Julia to Bick, to all of us.
- the manuscript
The info is passed from Dick Holmes to Brownie, to manuscript.
- the Waltz map
I have my speculations is all. 🥴😉
I hope this helps
