Actually, if you want to know what real treasure looks like stop by the museum and ask for George, Jim or Gregg D. I honestly can't say enough about these gentlemen. http://supe...

Choto, The obvious answer is to become the accepted expert on all things Dutchman. What follows will be the "expert's" book. :shock: Good luck, Joe Ribaudo Joe, Expert? One can form an opinion (hopefully based on research) and package it for sale but I am not sure that anyone here can be ...

Good posts on Peralta linage. Yes it is there, but even after revealed it will take work to put all the pieces together.

Go back to that post and read the article again. I obviously don't agree with Budge but here is what he wrote: The Cour...

Choto, I'm not sure where you are getting the information that George Willing died of exposure but that is not the case. His death in Prescott was well known, well recorded and well attended. Willing died in the Juniper Hotel in Prescott on Cortez street March 19, 1875. He was fine and in no undue ...
