Re: Lost Dutchman in the Superstitions? What is wrong with this 'picture'?
However, I do have the 'bible' so I shall look it up as soon as I get home! Thanks for the tip!
Have a good day (and don't do anything I wouldn't do!) - and take care.

*lol* ... and I thought I had been through almost everything ever written (on the forums). I believe I must revise that particular notion!cactusjumper said:Per,
"And of course, I'm not going to ask _where_ and _how_ you got that li'l scetch of Jacob's, but where is it from?? I've never,ever seen that one referred to before .."
I've posted that picture many times on different forums, including here. Probably the first time I didn't give proper credit as to the source. It's an interesting story, but I will not post it here. You will need to buy Helen Corbin's book, "The Bible on the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine and Jacob Waltz." Page 134
I have two copies, one in soft cover and the other leather bound. The leather-bound hard cover was given to me as a gift. I count it as one of the many treasures I have received from my years of keeping close company with the Superstition Mountains and her legends.
Take care,
Joe
