Choto, George Willing made two filings at the Prescott Arizona Territory courthouse. The first were mining claims and land deeds in 1864 and the second was his land grant with Peralta filed in 1874-75.

Re: The Peralta-Fish Map

Matthew Roberts, As far as I am concerned, the Peralta-Fish map is the real deal. So, with that in mind, I would say that I am not really looking. Looking, yes, but following the Peralta-Fish map. Exclusively. As far as running down people, I am too poor to be out there more than once a year and res...

Re: The Peralta-Fish Map

Hey Choto Do you live in Philly? Boy you guys have a ton of info but since the Revis land swindle was about land grant transfers in a phony manner, how does play in to the LDM, Peralta's or SOJ. It seems that it is interesting but a different subject. But I am sure you are going to tell of some com...

Re: The Peralta-Fish Map

Incredible to see those documents. But again, I need to see the original agreement. Everything that passed thru Reavis is questionable and while I respect your conclusions, there are a few academics who would question them. I need time and a trip to DC. Anyway, you have shared some brilliant insight...

Re: The Peralta-Fish Map

Matthew Roberts, I am at a disadvantage when it comes to the Reavis evidence. My focus has been on Miguel L. and those he knew/did business with. But I now see the importance of going back and looking at all the material. I first want to see the original campfire agreement because the entire story h...

Re: Doodles made by Jacob Waltz

Hey Choto AS I said before I believe it is a site that many have worked. My biggest fear is what is really up there or not their anymore. We can not mine so I am interested from a historical prospective. To be honest every time we find something that it fits, I keep waiting for something not to fit...
