This book explores the history and the legend to assess fact from fiction.

Locations are cross referenced to the Hikers Guide to the the Superstition Wilderness.
Reader's comments include:
A very handsome book which ranks Glover at the top of the list along with Kollenborn and Blair. You have to read this one if you want to know where Lost Dutchman/ Jacob Waltz research stands today. ...Glover also presents new maps, points to physical clues in the Superstitions, and hints at some of the information that has until now been the exclusive property of eccentric "Dutch hunters."

Bibliography, Notes and ChronologyI have just finished reading your book, "The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz" and I must say I could not put it down! I am not an avid book reader, but your topic and the manner in which you presented it were both compelling and transfixing.
Once again thank you for writing such an enlightening book on an extremely interesting subject.

The work you have done with the SEM is the most brilliant piece of deductive forensic analysis I have seen in connection with this whole crazy story. Thank you for clarifying many things that were seemingly disconnected. I have read several of the other books on the mine, many seemed to be biased.
Thank you for writing it.

Part II, The Holmes Manuscript:
This manuscript was written by George "Brownie" Holmes the son of Dick Holmes. Dick Holmes knew Jacob Waltz and once tried to follow him to his mine. It was Dick Holmes and Gideon Roberts who were with Waltz when he died and heard his death bed confession. The original manuscript is annotated with subsequent research and interviews.
Readers comments include:
Here it is, the full Holmes manuscript with Glover's annotations, index, and many fascinating photographs. The importance of this document for the Lost Dutchman tale cannot be overemphasized. Aside from the unpublished Bark notes, this is really the only Lost Dutchman account that faithfully traces its origins back to someone who knew Waltz.

Bibliography, Notes and ChronologyDr. Glover: Thanks very much for the information on Volume 2, The Holmes Manuscript. ...You asked what part of the first volume I liked the best.... being a scientist myself, I was most impressed with the EDS analysis of the various gold ore samples. To me, this is the best objective evidence for there being something to the whole story, rather than just a bunch of yarns.
